That's what I've done (though I might try the tweak). If you do that,
you also need to make sure that *each Windows user* turns off the
automatic daylight time adjustment in the clock applet. (Basically, UTC
is London time with no DST adjustment, give or take a few ticks...).
The only disadvantage is that when you are in Windows, the clock shows
UTC. If you wear a watch, that's not a big deal. If you use a Windows
calendar/alarm facility, you have to watch out for that, as well, or
you'll find yourself several hours early to your appointments.
