Can this crap be turned off ?

I want the Windows XP logon screen, or as like as I can get.

Can this be done via group policy ?

I am in a domain environment.

Here's what I did, don't know how the domain environment affects it:

Force as close to the the "classic" logon as Vista can get:

Start - Control Panel - System and Maintenance - Administrative
Tools - Local Security Policy -Local Policy - Security
Options -"Interactive logon: Do not display last user name" = Enabled,
"Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" = Disabled

Start - gpedit.msc - Administrative Templates - System - Logon -
Hide entry points for Fast User Switching = Enabled, always use classic
logon = enabled

Not sure if it is all needed or not, but it worked for me. Good luck!

Arthur: All my life I've had this strange feeling that there's something
big and sinister going on in the world.
Slartibartfast: No, that's perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the
universe gets that.

I think the "Hide entry points for Fast User Switching = Enabled" can
only be set on machines which are not part of a domain. ie: not
available in domain environment.

Could be, the machines I'm working with are off-domain. As I said, it
might not actually be necessary to set all of those to get the desired
result. Try it without that setting and see.
