The software installer includes 8 files and is usually about 1.59 MB (1,668,345 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows XP.

I have stickies on my desktop and it works great I tried to put it on my mac on the windows side and no matter what I do it will not display on my mac/parallels windows 7 laptop like it does not my windows 7 dell desktop. I understand how to install, and how to copy the items from the dell desktop and put it in my laptop but they will not show on the desktop. I love stickies and would love to use them on mac/parallels window 7 or even windows 8 I have both on my mac/parallels
