Or send Mac users to a different page where the <object> tags are not
present.

I don't think this will work, as if the flash movie is to be played with
the ActiveX component, the <object> tags must be present. If you dump
all but the first set of <object> tags, you'll get the first movie playing
with ActiveX, then the second movie looking around for the plug-in
to use with the <embed> tags.

For maximum compatibility I'd advise keeping both sets of tags, but
perhaps make a note that IE/Mac browsers should disable ActiveX
for best results...
