its getting abit annoying that when i load up a link to a video it says i need a windows media plugin, i know flip4mac is the plugin i need but the versions i found on the site isnt intel mac compatible.
what other ways are there that would allow me to watch these windows videos on the net?

There's a beta around of the UB version of Flip4Mac. Not sure if it's leaked or not so I won't link to it, but I'm sure you can find it.

"Flip4Mac v2.1 software release - including universal binary support for Intel Macs

We are pleased to advise that we are now in the final beta testing process, and we hope to have a release within the next few weeks.

We appreciate all the feedback from our many beta testers. We’ve been busy processing that information and making the necessary fixes. We’re also pleased to announce that in addition to support for Intel Macs, the v2.1 release will include:

significant export optimizations for PowerPC Macs
multi-language audio support in WMV player
overlay when importing WMV content in trial mode
improved support for MMS servers and live streams
fixed DCT Blocking issue (progressive deterioration with increasing distance from previous keyframe)
Flip4Mac Support"

Just sit tight for a few weeks...
