Microsoft IntelliPoint v6.1 Memory Leak

UPDATE: Microsoft has -finally- updated IntelliPoint to v6.2 [6.20.0182.0000]
The new version fixes the bug mentioned below.

There's a big memory leak problem in Microsoft's IntelliPoint v6.1 mouse software/driver.

Each time you open and close the magnifier window, the ipoint.exe beautifully leaks a couple of megabytes of RAM...

Just check ipoint.exe's memory usage.

And this has been going on for so long [since Intellipoint v6.1's launch]

And the funny thing is, Microsoft updated its mouse line with newer
models without even considering to fix this easy-to-fix bug in Intellipoint v6.1...

So, next time you go out and buy a new MS mouse with a ~80$ price tag, keep in mind that the software that comes with it is still buggy.
