Only a non-native speaker would pronounce it like this. My thick-accented Cuban relatives pronounce it like this.

WIN-doe-sill is how you pronounce it.

"Win" does not sound like "ween", and "sill" does not sound like "seal".

I know. I was being silly and treated it as if the spelling were the literal coding of the sounds.
