I don't really know if we should do this.. I do understand why you want to rename it. From a user point of view the user probably wants to either access windows shares or make shares accessible for windows. Either way, it's done through Samba which implements the SMB protocol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block so it are actually "SMB Shares" ;)

Changing it is not really useful i think. I for example make "Samba shares" between Linux machines as well since that is just easy and why should those be called "Windows Shares" all of a sudden? I think "Samba Shares" is just fine. Perhaps "SMB Shares" describes it even better.

I'm not against the change, but also not in favor. Someone else should decide whether this is OK or not.
