The thin clients that I've seen were all Linux/unix based machines. A Windows box sounds like a fat client to me and I'd be concerned about security updates and how locked down they are.

They're marketed as "thin" clients for whatever definition of it, probably for ease of management. What matters to surplus seekers is that they are great as Pi substitutes.
