I must admit that I do find cutemouse's style more logical and the MS style conter-intuitive. I was just wondering which semantics was the good one...

No, I don't know of any software that actually depends on the MS style. I noticed the difference because I wrote a DOS testcase specifically for this API while hacking on the DOSEMU project's mouse driver. I needed to know the exact behaviour and the way to treat the hotspot position. To my dismay, Microsoft's driver, Logitech's driver and cutemouse dont't behave exactly the same!
