All the versions support .wmv, so doesn't matter which one you use.
(But it is Windows based).

Thanks Mark :
I was thinking more of standalone WMV editors
As a matter of fact ,(in addition to Vegas) , just about any "self respecting" video editor which takes multiple input formats including Liquid Edition and Avid Liquid 7 and Adobe Premiere ( and Elements), UleadVS 10 and Pinnacle Studio 10 are able to edit WMV (
albeit indirectly)
but
To buttress your point:
All those software are windows based (mainly)
Tend not to be free ( although the "budget" ones aren't bank bursting)
but even so for a one off use may be OTT
It is also the case that they almost certainly work by transcoding/converting wmv to AVI in the background and you would have to reeencode back to WMV after the ediing for output: the end quality video is probably going to be less than starting material.
Im not sure that trial versions dont have limited functionality in some respects.Many have output restrictions even when they accept any input format
Im aware that Vegas ( Movie Studio) Trial certainly does not allow mpeg input, While Im not sure if this restriction extends to the full version that ver could limit what you output it to
