Not as much as you'd expect. It's easier and cheaper to get a design with windows (and their supporting structure), and not cut out the holes for the windows in the skin. The resulting structure is going to be only marginally lighter, but also much more fatigue resistant. The savings would show up in the changed inspection intervals.
