The Pi needs Windows like a new Porsche needs 500 kg cement in the boot.
So does it need it or not? I once owned a 911, in the air-cooled days when the weight distribution could cause nasty surprises when cornering in the wet. One solution was to add weight in front - Porsche themselves put the battery as far forward as possible and in some cases actually added weights inside the front bumper.
The boot was, of course, in the front. 500 kg seems like it might be a bit much, though.
