I also dislike the mouse ballistics (Microsoft Mouse on PS/2) that
accompanied ServicePak #1, ServicePak #2, and 2.1 GA.  On both my
home and office machines, I have copied the MOUSE.SYS file from
2.0 GA.  I have no idea what changes to the driver I might have lost
by backing up to the original, or whether any of those changes have
any effect on PS/2s, but it does provide me with much nicer ballistics.

If most IBM customers believe that the current mouse driver is better, then
I would recommend that IBM provide more flexibility than the single slider
control.  Something similar to a stereo graphic equalizer that would allow
the user to customize the acceleration curve would be great.

What I hate about the current mouse driver is that at slow mouse speeds,
the cursor moves too slowly, but at a slightly higher mouse speed the
cursor goes jumping off too fast.  The onset of the speed change is
simply too sudden; the curve needs to be much smoother.  The problem is
most noticeable when playing a game like PMMine.
