I think I can speak for most everyone who reads this site when I say that you are an idiot. Your idea is stupid, malicious, and easily manipulated into having devastating consequences. It also hinges upon the assumption of Microsoft's competence. Windows is already good enough at munging data during upgrades. It doesn't need code dedicated to that purpose.
