IMHO, you can suffer with the difference, or do not use DST.

Windows resets system time with the daylight savings time changes (twice
a year).  Linux leaves system time alone and makes the change in
software to display DST.  When you do dual boot in an environment where
DST is used you will see this discrepancy.

I know of no way to make the two systems play nice together as relates
to time.
