We should be using the Microsoft standard, as it is very ubiquitous – Most users in LTR (Left-to-Right) cultures are accustomed to the affirmative action button being placed on the left, and the “undo” or “Cancel” or “Reset” button being on the right.

That alone is a compelling enough reason for me. But, for those who would like more, I have had many users express frustration with “Cancel” or “Reset” buttons being the left-most button, since they often will, out of habit, complete a lengthy form, and then automatically click the left-most button, only to find out that they have reset the entire form.
