VLC for OSX will play them, and there used to be a version of Windows Media
for Mac - not sure if was ported for Intel Macs though.

and use the Windows partition to view the MPeg files.  But that would be too
much work. 

But, MPeg should play with QuickTime.  WMV's will not play in Quick Time
unless you install something extra.
