You probably need to redirect your question to a more appropriate one like Anaconda-devel list. I have no idea how Windows installers work. There is a difference between how live images work and the non-live installation in Fedora. In the case of live images, you are essentially copying a full image to the disk and writing a boot loader. It is extremely fast. Maybe takes 3 minutes to do the entire installation. The regular installer installs RPM packages. In the latter, you are trading off speed for a lot more flexibility (choose packages, filesystem etc). Whether it is feasible at all to copy a base image and add on top of it is not known to me.
