This is not new. Check out "Microsoft AARD code" -- an inverted example of surreptitious analytics, in 1992. TL;DR: the beta version of Windows 3.1 showed a warning if user was using DR-DOS, a competing OS. The payload was encrypted and could be triggered in the production version of Win 3.1 by changing a flag.
