My System came installed with Windows 8, which I updated to 8.1. and I am succesfully dual booting it and Ubuntu 13.10.

Date 11/04/2013
Vendor Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (www.phoenix.com)
Version P07ABJ
Computer
Processor 8x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3615QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory 7873MB (997MB used)
Operating System Ubuntu 13.10

I updated to the latest bios drivers, deactivated fast boot/quick boot(in windows and in bios), intel rapid responce etc.
Shrinked my main drive to allow space for Ubuntu. Booted the Ubuntu live usb with UEFI and SecureBoot stil enabled.
Installed Ubuntu using the existing efi partition and the HDD as to location for the bootloader.
It installed fine and Ubuntu worked just like that, however Windows 8.1 did not work until I disabled SecureBoot.(I'm not sure why.)
I did not even run repair-boot. :)
