Although these icons can be used in many operating systems they have been designed to enhance XP, using XP colours.
I considered 256, but the icons are just too plain at such a high resolution. XP has a maximum standard icon size of 72px, although it is possible to increase it to 128px using registry tweaks. XP also doesn't have the same icon scaling feature above 48px as Vista/7. Practially, I find XP shows best at 48px for large screens and 32px for standard screens.
The 128px icons are provided for use in dock programs like RocketDock.
