Actually, I've seen many "refurbs" for sale, without any OS. When computers are taken off lease, the disks are (should!!!) be wiped clean, to ensure there's no data on them. Not all of them get Windows reloaded, even though the licence has already been paid for.
But how many of the buyers don't already own Windows licenses? I think Vista is the first version to tie the license to the box. For XP Microsoft will even give you a new key if you install it on a replacement box. You just aren't allowed to run it on more then one box.
