FWIW, we use a method similar to Rainer Meier's method, but started in a
different way. We've made a (rather hackish, but effective) unattended
Windows installation suite (which boots Linux off PXE, mounts an installation
share, partitions disks and run Windows Setup in dosemu). Windows Setup is
fed with a file called unattend.txt - among other things, it installs WPKG
Client late in the process (with [UserParams] and UserExecute), but before
the last reboot. Thus, WPKG runs at the last reboot and installs an office
suite, virus scanner and other useful stuff.

I can give you the details if you're interested.
