Allow Windows Phone to access files on Windows desktop / servers [updated]

Homegroups and Workgroups are an integral part of any person's personal or professional network system. At the heart of the Windows experience since Vista, Microsoft have missed a trick by not incorporating this feature natively in Windows Phone 8. Android's Es File Explorer is one of the most downloaded apps and rightly so. For a device that is always on, I cannot see a better experience than lounging in your bed with your phone, and being able to play a video that is on the shared folder of you home PC without having to transfer it on via USB or installing any ridiculous software on either my PC or my phone. Such a tool would trump Android as I'm sure Microsoft can build a perfectly great file explorer that incorporates network file sharing. Get this done and it will also open up Windows Phone to be built on a phablet. But before that can even happen, WP8 must support higher resolution screens (1080p and above).
