You only need to de-provision them once. I prefer to do it offline, either to the WIM itself or during the task sequence after the WIM has been applied to the drive but before the OS boots.
You can do it once the OS is up and running, but that gets messier, since the store can start updating the apps while you're trying to remove them, and since you then also have to deal with the per-user installs that would cause Sysprep to fail.

Should I run the removal script against my WIM that I'm going to capture from a golden image, or should I be running the script during the task sequence? The first sounds like it would build the machine faster, but I'm wondering if the packages get reset during OSD requiring the removal script to be ran anyway?
