Badly...  Nothing seems to have changed.

If you can get Windows to properly run in UTC, that's best.

If you can get Linux to run well using local time, that's second best. 
Though be prepared to have a fight around daylight savings time changes
(Linux usually worked well enough by itself, in local time, but dual
booting may require you to manually intervene on both sides, so both
sides feel they've correctly accounted for the daylight savings
change).

Otherwise, be prepared to tell each OS to resync their clock each time
you boot the other OS.  I've found that neither will automatically
correct the clock when it's out by a significant factor.

NB:  I don't actually *run* Windows.  It's an idle thing that's still
left on one of my laptop drive that I occasionally fire up when trying
out different Linux releases.  Clock issues are about the only
shenanigans I look at on Windows, it has no functional use for me.
