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.

I just stick to qubes, thanks but nothanks. To treat every OS as hostile seems to be the sane solution these days.

Using Qubes is orthogonal to what operating systems you're running as guests within it. Every OS is hostile, if only passively (leaking information to the network in the myriad of ways that have become acceptable today, for example).
