You can set up two-finger-tap right clicking with System Preferences->Keyboard and Mouse -> Trackpad ->

Windows 3.1 didn't have any use for a two-button mouse. The second button didn't do anything in most applications.

That is because that the right click was not used IN applications. It was used to right click on icons, files, maps, etc. Now it works in applications as well, eg Word.

FYI logitech bluetooth mice are incompatible with Macs. Theyll function, but only as a generic apple mouse (right click and scrolling will still work). Youll only be able to assign expose/dashboard functions to the extra buttons through the expose shortcut settings. The logtech drivers that allow you to fully customize the mouse wont work with them.

Logitech mice are completely compatible with Macs now, you can even download the software from Logitech to make your mouse completely functional with OS X if you haven't done so already: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/support_downloads/downloads/mice/&cl=us,en.
You can also download GamePad Companion which will allow the Logitech mouse (VX Revolution etc.) more functionality in games.

I use mighty mice and love them. I always assign the right to second button.

I said bluetooth, logitech bluetooth mice are not supported on the mac since there are no drivers to install and logitech only supports their crappy bluetooth dongle instead of real bluetooth. It is possible to use them but they show up as generic mice, so there are no advanced options.

Their wired and RF mice work perfectly fine with macs and have official drivers.
