First of all I must state that I have only used Vista on other people's machines where they have purchased them with Vista installed and asked me to help them learn how to use them or set them up. My experience ticks nearly all of your boxes - security is over-protective, too much eye candy (I switched it off on XP and could possibly do the same on Vista - I haven't investigated), existing apps don't work, etc.
Were I working with a single machine then no doubt I could get used to most of it but it is inconvenient to have only a small number of a group of machines using one OS and the rest using another. XP does all I need and I would be quite happy to continue to use it on all future boxes if I were able to - but it seems unlikely that M$ will allow that.
