Join question

I was curious as to which format everyone is using for sql joins between tables. At my last couple jobs we used "*=", but wondering how many people are using the "inner join" format. Is one more accepted that the other or is it more personal preference? Personally i find that the *= way is easier to understand but that is most likely due to my past exposure to it.

I also find the =* format much easier to use. Microsoft are trying to force a change to the ANSI format but making the =* format to be specifically enabled with SQL2005.
