Yes.

Can he just install Windows and then zap OSX off of the drive?
Sure .. other people have done it. I haven't. (the process is to use a standalone program to reformat the disk, getting rid of OS/X partitions, and just create whatever partitions you want and then boot the installer.)

Either sell it or install windows on it. Bootcamp is the easiest way if you never ever intend to run OS/X.
