Nearly all of the setup you have to do can be scripted or automated in some way, including user profiles. Registry files and batch user profile creation are your friends. Of course Microsoft doesn't tell anyone you can merge a handful of registry files and do 98% of the configuration instantaneously, nor do they distribute the tools or docs for doing so. They'd rather sell you a five-figure MSCE course to teach you how to smash your head against Configuration Wizards properly. But I agree, 2k is a pain to setup manually.
