Is the S windshield thinner than typical?
So did they make the windshield thinner to save weight? I've noticed that it chips a lot easier from salt and rocks than other cars I've driven. Now maybe it's cause I care a lot more about it, but something seems off....
Thoughts?

no it has to do with the angle of the windshield. it's angle causes it to take more of a beating from rocks/salt etc, rather than a windshield that is more angled and can better deflect debris.

Right, it is a combination of the aerodynamics of the car's front end combined with a more upright windshield .

I don't know. I've noticed that my windshield gets chipped up alot easier in the S than the other cars I've owned with similar angles. Maybe the glass they use is just softer or something. Maybe some sort of new safety thing with soft glass as a side effect.
