humorous that Google is facilitating installing Windows.
Well not everyone can run Linux. I've worked in many companies where people only know how to use Outlook, Word, and Excel and that was enough to do their job.

I'm just surprised that Google's tool has no GUI. I know things are changing in the Windows world with PowerShell, but stereotypically Windows was always the "there's a GUI for that" OS.

It's rare that I meet a Windows sysadmin who prefers command line to clicking buttons.

Presumably this tool is not for Windows sysadmins, it's for Linux/Unix sysadmins who also have to manage some Windows machines...
They probably don't have an insignificant number of Windows machines themselves so it's likely addressing some internal deployment issues for themselves. so it totally makes sense for them to build a tool like this.
If the repo's readme says "This is not an official Google product", is it really fair to call it "Google Glazier" in the submission title? Seems a bit murky to me.
