The level of workarounds that windows requires never cease to amaze me.
Workarounds to what?
Windows, just like any other operating system, has its set of contrivances for different functions (in this case automated installation). Having used RedHat Kickstart I don't see it as hugely different.
it's not just windows. every OS has "secret" options that a power user can use if only they knew about them.
Yeah, but it's a breeze compared to making GNOME usable; hamburger menus everywhere!!11!
My favorite is that even Microsoft themselves maintain MIT licensed debloat scripts of their own software.
