That would be because you haven't downloaded the Microsoft-supported tool to view WMV on Mac - Flip4Mac:

(There used to be a Windows Media Player for Mac, but someone did it better, so Microsoft bought them.)

Some of the Windows codecs (some AVI encoding) doesn't work out of the box, but there's a DIVX codec available from DIVX, and VLC helps play others:

Of course, I've had to download similar things for my work PC to get it to play videos, so that's nothing new.
