Time will tell how well they work in the long run, but I am extremely pleased with the way they turned out. They are made of Smoked Lexan.
Right? Wrong? Indifferent? I don't know - there are so many opinions. But for the use I intend for this boat, I believe that they will do quite well.
This is not the greatest picture as I am still working on the boat: http://www.cruisersforum.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=3879&c=2

Those windows will do quite well (if properly sealed). The weak link on that set-up is the mounting for the windows. However, that is a boat design and size issue.
It would be highly rare for you to get hit hard enough to cause any window damage but if you did take enough water on the window, it would knock the window completely through the deck-house (no matter what it is made of) however, extremely unlikely.
