Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and system builders for preinstalling
and configuring Windows XP onto new computers for distribution to end-users. The OPK included software like Setup

Preinstallation Environment (WinPE), and Sysprep, allowing
them to create custom installation images with pre-loaded drivers and settings
