Default Internet Explorer 6 and Windows Media Player 10 for the Mac?

Hey,

I am looking for Internet Explorer 6 and Windows Media Player 10, as I need these to access a Microsoft website to view a video. I have been able to find these programs mentioned, however I am unable to get these so called exe's to work on my iBook with Mac OS X Tiger installed. Could you guys offer me any help with finding the right ones so I can watch the video in question?

I have attached a screenshot of the error that is provided by the website, which requests me to download the software I have already mentioned.

Microsoft stopped creating new versions of WMP for the Mac back in January...

There is reference to an alternative you could try, that may work -

IE also got cutoff at version 5 back in 2003 -

Buttt I'm sure you already knew that. Weird error message

Its similar to the obviously ludicrous thought that someone would be able to build a search engine which worked in all browsers

Speaking of which, Live Mail has to be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen...
