Depends what the licence terms of the operating system are. If it says that it's "non-transferable", then yes, it should. I think, though, that a Windows licence is transferable.
My point is not whether it's been established legally, but that it's what you've given your agreement to at the time that you buy the book. It seems plain "wrong" to me to accept the terms of the seller at the time that you buy it, and then to turn round and ignore those terms when it's convenient for you to do so.
