I used to have a power shell script that a coworker gave me that would uninstall a huge number of services and apps on windows, change a bunch of config settings etc.

I've always wished there were a way to roll out a stripped windows release as an open source project without getting sued.

Configuration Management is the term I'm familiar with, third party tools or SCCM, or just group policy.
