How the OOBE phase works is, if the installation does not have the information it needs, it will show you the appropriate page. So if you don't want those pages to appear, you need to have the correct information it needs in your XML.

To choose an OS:

            <ImageInstall>                <OSImage>                    <InstallFrom>                        <MetaData wcm:action="add">                            <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key>                            <Value>Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL</Value>                        </MetaData>                    </InstallFrom>                </OSImage>            </ImageInstall>

To choose a Time Zone:

            <TimeZone>Central Standard Time</TimeZone>

To add an activation key:

	<settings pass="specialize">		<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">			<ProductKey>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</ProductKey>		</component>	</settings> 

While you can find example XMLs in many threads in this section, we have a highlight thread:

Also, make sure to use the Unattend.chm to look up the different objects like ProductKey, etc. In my example above I made sure to show the activation key is used in the Specialize pass, but as you can see in the documentation, you can put a product key in other places for other things. The information in the CHM is also available on Technet, but I personally prefer to use the CHM.
