I just tried it. It is a bit slow for me. And there seems to be some issues
as well. Luckely I'm not hit with every bug described in that forum.
I found an open-source predecessor of the bridge at
http://msdnforumsclient.codeplex.com/. Not sure if it still works. It seems
both the bridge and that client are just interacting with a WCF service
(
http://services.social.microsoft.com...msService.svc).
So if the bridge goes farther south, I'm sure someone will implement their
own software interacting with the service. Of course, that is until MS
decides to stop the service on their end...

So have you tried using the bridge? Given all the frustrations reported
during its development (and some issues still with newsreaders other than
WLM), I may be more inclined to just suck it up and use the forums in HTTP
format.

I guess I assumed you had to have specific credentials (beta, MVP, etc.)
to access Connect.
Obviously not, seeing a lowly bod like me can!
