Regardless of the merits of this idea, I don't feel that Canonical
should have any involvement with it.  First off, this is a Windows
specific piece of software you're asking for, ignoring the other
non-Windows hardware platforms that Ubuntu runs on.  Secondly, you're
asking Canonical to get into the business of Windows software
development when they're currently in the business of Linux.

That being said, if some third party wants to create something that
does as you suggest then that'd be a great thing.  I don't think it's
something that Ubuntu or Canonical should have anything to do with.
