So I was playing with Knoppix and browsing some SMB shares

And it occured to me that OSX should do something similar. Like when you browse or Cmd+K into something like smb://asus you should be greeted with a folder of shares rather than a pulldown menu. Then instead of unmounting two or 3 shares from the same computer you'd be unmounting the computer (in essence mounting all shares).
Kinda like this
Different in 10.3.2 in that you know what you're connected to. Better than it is now because when you're connected to "SharedDocs" you know which computer you're connected to. And if you navigate to the "shares" they'll automatically assume the password you entered for the computer connection. If that pass/login is not correct then it'll prompt you for a correct one. You'd still be able to login the 10.3.3 current way with "smb://asus/Files" where just the share will show up. Otherwise smb://asus will load up all the current shares.
I think it's a good idea.
