Well any change to the environment will have some affect. The lighting, humidity and temperature outside is going to differ from whatever you had emulated inside. . . And you're exposing the plants to other potential threats like rabbit / deer, bugs / pest, etc. that most likely wouldn't exist indoors. Pretty broad question, so you can't get a great answer without a little more detail.

You have to break them in. First start in full shade, and then diffused light (using a shade cloth), then just a few minutes of sunshine at a time and back in the shade, then finally full sun.
Otherwise it'll look like you dipped your plants in acid. The sun will just burn them up so bad they may never grow again. Or the sun just might burn a few leaves, either way not worth the risk unless you break them in first.
Keep in mind you'll be bringing bugs out of the rugged outdoor environment and bring them into a pampered indoor life where they can thrive. Not only that, but next time you bring the plants out, any insect/disease damage on the plant is like a welcome mat for others, and so they'll start a little fiesta with their amigos all up in your plant.

heck yeah, give them that sun....watch the difference
I drag mine out every day. Preventative pest maintenance is always a must.(if your anal like me, spray the patio and yard area). Right before I start taking them outside for the season I boost my fans up inside veg room to get them stronger. I live in Co. its windy as fuck. Only seedlings and cuttings cant handle the bright sun and need gradual light adjustment.

Never really grown in a window. I think standard house windows filter something like 30% light, but you can go ahead and pop them up there for 15 minutes and see how they look. Check up every 30 minutes until you're confident they aren't going to cook. If it gets hotter and sunnier through out the day in that window, continue to check on them through out the first day. If at any time they look like they are cooking, set them back under their indoor light until they no longer look shocked.
