Default Question: Display symbology for wind vector in flight software

We all know that winds are depicted with a flag type symbol denoting
where the winds are coming *from*, with hash marks encoding the speed.

My question is wrt what we see on computer displays in the cockpit. My
LX7007 displays an arrow showing where the winds are going *to*,
essentially displaying a "force vector". *Is this the common way of
depicting winds in flight software? Is there a standard for this?

Windsock... Everyone seems to find it intuitive.
