The negative side is that Windows configs can't be easily replicated, meaning that you have to put time and effort into it every time you install a new OS to a new computer. Perhaps some kind of snapshot images could work, but when you add OS upgrades to the mix, it becomes a chore.

That bit can be automated, for example with PowerShell. You can export registry entries, you can copy configuration folders, it's harder but it can be done.
