given the fact that many many drivers share common names and have internal references to those names.
you would need a good hex editor and about 6 months of testing and a few hundred available testers...
until the updates came out for those drivers... then you would be back to square one. many of the most popular drivers are released monthly... so you could never keep up with the workload.
it is likely that after you hex edited the driver and related support files many of the drivers would simply fail to function as expected... signing is required to install many drivers your method will absolutely break signing so many more of your drivers would fail on signing issues. so now we have the set that cannot be edited (leaving you with choose one driver or another not both) and then anything that insisted on signing could simply not be included so you would loose 20 to 30 percent of your drivers right out of the chute... the remaining 80 percent would likely be unstable if hacked. A hacked driver would certainly not be eligible for any type of support.
So I will repeat myself you can have limited success on a limited range of hardware very limited.
I will not say it is not possable
- because it is possable
- It would take so much time and effort to deal with it that windows 8 would be out before it was done...
there is NO PRACTICAL WAY to make this work... sorry
I like the idea... really it is good thinking - it just won't be a good thing.
Perhaps if you tell us why you want this then we can offer you a better (more viable) solution than this
