I see that there are no Windows 7 drivers for the NuLOOQ Navigator, and almost no support any more. I infer that the NuLOOQ has been pretty much a complete flop, and Logitech is devoring essentially no resources to supporting it.
Does anyone have any different information?

Yes they have.
I have been on the phone with them, and pretty much the message was "you're screwed, now here, let us give you this worthless discount on an inferior product." Ok maybe not inferior, but DEFINITELY not a replacement for the NuLooq called the SpaceNavigator. I made the mistake of getting one of the SpaceNavigators, and it is a fine product (for doing 3D stuff), but is an epic fail as far as a replacement for the NuLooq goes.
I also asked them, nay begged them to offer a kit or something for the community to make use of these versatile devices, maybe by writing their own drivers/plugins... something. I was blocked at ever turn. I would love to see someone who knows figure something out for Windows, Mac and Linux users so that we don't have these useless hockey pucks sitting around.
I would like to again, call for Logitech to do the right thing and open up the source on the drivers and software for this thing or at least give us enough info to write our own.

You're hosed, my friend.
ChadAlan is right... I'm not sure how long ago the device was released... but it was okay with 10.5 OS X, as soon as I went to 10.6, everytime I start my computer up the device will not pan in CS3, will scroll in other programs... but cannot do application specific panning or zooming for Adobe programs.
If there's anyone that has any solution out there, I would love to hear it. This device, before the upgrade, had increased my workflow significantly...
