No.
Producer requires PPT 2003 or XP.

Will producer presentations continue to run in the the post XP environment or
should we cease to devlop projects using producer and start converting old
producer projects to a new format?

From what I can tell productions run fine in IE7 (at least on XP) so Vista
(with IE7 being the base browser) should not be an impediment to viewing
Producer generated content.
If Producer style productions are part of your long term plan it would be
prudent to look for a replacement tool I think (I have chosen and purchased
Articulate for future Producer style content -- though as far as I know it
does not currently support PowerPoint 2007 yet either).

I've got one of those (Vista+IE7) ... if you can point me at an example, I'll be
happy to have a looksee.

Seems generally to work well under Vista/MSIE7.
When I launch it, MSIE gives me a popup warning abut how the webste wants to install the MS
Office Animation Runtime. The computer doesn't have Office on it yet, so that's no surprise.
Yes that would be normal.
Other than that, it fired off and ran fine (a few oddities here and there ... bandwidth issues,
I'm guessing; the sound only did a MaxHeadroom once but the talking head video stuttered quite
a bit). Response to the pause button on the video seemed slow.
The original production was delivered from CD and had high bandwidth
640x480 video in the production -- I downsized the video and limited the
bandwidth for web delivery. It is also being streamed from a webserver (not
a media server) so a few temporal glitches might be present -- delivering
video on the web is always a compromise of quality vs bandwidth.
All fairly minor stuff. The same show under XP/MSIE6 had a few glitches too. Also minor.
The only glitches I see over the web (IE6 or IE7) are at template
transitions -- unfortunately normal for this type of production but because
of router/internet busyness as always with video delivery on the web this
is a YMMV situation.

So to sum it all up: It works. <g>
Glitches, such as they are, can be laid at the feet of things other than OS/IE version.
Yes that would be my conclusion as well (at least for the stuff that I have
produced).
