For all intents and purposes, it is.  In this case, though, WfW
helpfully set my hardware clock forward an hour in March, which I
wasn't expecting.  When I chose GMT as a time zone, I actually chose
GMT/BST.  

I presume a modern Windows has a concept of system time and so forth,
and doesn't go messing around with the hardware clock, so this is
probably not a problem for dual booters.
