What browser(s) (besides Safari) support Photocasts?

Question

I recently created a slide show in Keynote and exported it as an image file. I subsequently converted it to a Photocast and published it on my .mac account. When I logged on, I was stunned by the spectacular resolution of the slide show, and pleasantly surprised by the music that it added. As you might expect, I'd like anyone and everyone to access this file, including those who don't own Apple hardware. Predictably enough, when I tried to access it at work using Internet Explorer, I was greeted with a terse message that announced that IE "does not support Photocasts" (surprise!) Are there any browsers out there that incorporate a plug-in that would permit PC users to view photocasts? I've already converted the slide show into a QuickTime-playable movie, but the size of that file (192 megs) is prohibitively large. I'd be delighted if Mozilla's Firefox, for example, would support it. Has anyone out there encountered, and solved, this problem?

I found this on a MacRumors.com forum:
"can anyone suggest a very simple pc browser or other program that can work with a photocast rss feed? my parent (60+ years old) dont have a mac (yet...) and i would love to give them access to our photocasts of our kids.
The Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com) browser works, but it loads it essentially as a 'bookmark folder', where you have to pick each individual picture one at a time from the bookmark list. If you try to go to the RSS file directly, Firefox asks you to save it. You have to add the link as a 'Live Bookmark'.
THe Sage (http://sage.mozdev.org) plugin for Firefox makes RSS feeds a lot nicer, in that it will display the individual 'articles' in a grid in the main browser window (which means showing thumbnails of ALL of the photos in a photocast.) You add it by going to the 'Manage Feed List' option, and adding a new Bookmark.
The thing to remember is that iPhoto gives you a url that says 'photocast.mac.com', but to get it to work in anything other than iPhoto, you need to use 'web.mac.com'. So just edit the URL it gives you to say web.mac.com instead of photocast.mac.com, and it'll work great. (If you try going to 'photocast.mac.com/...', .Mac itself will give an error page saying that your browser doesn't support proper photocasts, and has the 'correct' web.mac.com URL listed at the bottom. But it's not a link, you need to copy and paste it.
So, for example, let's say Steve Jobs has a feed called 'keynote'. iPhoto will tell you the URL is http://photocast.mac.com/steve/iPhoto/keynote/index.rss You really want to use http://web.mac.com/steve/iPhoto/keynote/index.rss (Please note that I made these up. They are fake, and do not exist.)"
Maybe a PC user can confirm or deny.
