I find it more useful for P\R tracking. Folks take it too damn seriously. If competion is that important register for a race.
Anyhow, most of the riders in my area KOM on windy days.
I remember on my birthday there was a huge tailwind. I flatted a couple miles into my ride and had to head home. Another guy recorded a 4 mile segment with an average speed of 30mph on that day.
