Here's the answer, direct from Blue themselves: Snowballs manufactured after July, 2007 (with serial numbers higher than 76-065000) are 7 and Vista compatible. Snowballs with numbers lower than this are not Windows 7 or Vista compatible.
If you get really stuck you can test your mic using Linux, booted from a USB stick. I did this and discovered I could use it with my PC after all. Upon further investigation I discovered it was Intel's USB 3.0 drivers causing the problem. I downgraded ALL my USB ports back to standard 2.0, and now the mic works as expected. If I ever need to use USB 3.0 in the future, I will revert my USB's back to 3.0 and install a USB 2.0 via PCI and run the Snowball thru that.

So bad luck, you have an old microphone.
