Is Vista dumbed down compared to XP?

With XP, when you use the "My Pictures" screen saver you can configure
many options.

That doesn't seem to be the case with Vista - unless I'm missing
something - and I hope I am - because it's a feature that's valuable to
me.

Can anyone advise?

Re: Is Vista dumbed down compared to XP?

Since this is beta code, it's too early to judge. Lots of configuration
options are not in place yet, as Vista features that seem about ready have
been deployed with RC2. Those that are not yet finished are either disabled
or simply not apparent.
