Notes Software

To do list/"sticky notes" for Dell/Windows Vista?

I have seen people that have computers (such as Gateway notebooks and Dell notebooks) that have desktop features like that of a Mac such as the "to-do list" feature where the notes sit above your current window. Is there a free download from Microsoft that would allow me to do that on my Dell? Or is there something simliar that I probably already have on my computer and don't know it? Note: I do not want one like the one in Outlook, it's annoying. I'd like some just sticky notes type thing FROM MICROSOFT or a trustable source. Thanks! :)

1. That would be a widget or a gadget you download on your computer. Windows vista has gadgets that you can add like a to do list or sticky note on. Try downloading yahoo widgets they may have something similiar.
2. For Vista, those are called Widgets, In the world of Windows XP...it doesn't come with those, but those sidebars you see in Vista are Widgets.
