Hi -
So I appear to have caught myself in some kind of weird chicken or egg situation.
Anyone got any ideas?
Your interpretation of that forum thread is technically incorrect. You can connect to the Visual Studio Online OData feeds. By using the following article, I was able to configure alternate credentials and connect using Desktop's OData option. Definitely more work than using the Content Pack, but theoretically doable.

It is true that content packs do not work in Desktop, which is what that forum thread talks about. Basically, you have to "roll your own" content pack.
