I know I'm a little late to this old thread here, but I don't see how
creating a rich-client windows-based "skin" for SlimServer would
conflict with any of those two points. 

The key is the API. If Logitech continues to invest in building on the
core SlimServer API they already have, and make it completely
services-oriented, than anybody can create skins that take full
advantage of a particular platform.

I prefer to browse my music library in Windows Media Player 11 with all
its UI richness and album art support, than I do browsing the SlimServer
web UI.  If Logitech (or a partner, or even this community) were to
create a Windows smart client application that could manage all the
same things that the web UI does, that would be a very good thing for
them. And as long as they stick to maintaining this open API, the
options are wide open for them and us.
