Is it the Windows XP cursor or the Windows Vista/Windows 7 cursor or maybe even the mac cursor (for mac users) ?

I don't have a favorite mouse cursor. Anything that points works for me!

I don't have a particular favorite, however I like a black fill with a white stroke, such as with the default one on the Mac OS. It's the first style of mouse cursor I've used and I'm just used to it, I'm not a fan of the inverted form normally used on others platforms. In Windows, I always invert the colors.

I like the Mac one. The black with the white outline is great. It's easy to see on screen on both dark and bright backgrounds. The Windows one is harder to see on brighter backgrounds.

I prefer the Mac one over the Windows cursors, but it doesn't really matter...

I prefer the Mac cursor and it's the one I'm currently using. Windows 7 and Vista occupies the second place :P

OS X cursor fits my needs best, because it's easier to see when you're doing things like browsing the web where the websites are white.

Normal select in XP.

It's a normal black cursor arrow with a vague white outline.

It's the color that makes the cursor the most visible at the majority of sites I visit.

I just like the standard Windows 7 pointer.
