Does 14.04 properly handle UEFI, "Secure Boot" during install for a Dual Boot?

Excuse me please if I don't get the phraseology quite right here.

I have a dual boot laptop right now which is 12.10 on an ACER Aspire with preloaded windows 8;
HD= ATA ST750 LM022 HN-M7 (reports 700 GB)
I believe this Acer Aspire is running 8 gig of ram. (edited)

Thing is last install for 12.10 I had a heck of a time getting the UEFI and "Secure Boot" to play with a dual boot install with that 12.10 Remix and a pre-existing Windows 8 laptop. I love the flexibility of the GPT. But after install for 12.10 I had to run Super Grub2 Rescue in order to actually get a dual boot operational. Really not that big a deal I suppose once I found out what I had to do. I just thought the install routine would handle a dual boot menu like before (systems prior to UEFI that is).

So here's the question; does the 14.04.1 install routine set up a dual boot menu on the fly or will I need to run a Super Grub2 bootable ISO and build that startup menu again?

Supposedly the kinks have been ironed out. But I don't run with Secure Boot enabled, so I can't tell you for sure. I'm personally not a fan of the protection approach that Secure Boot implements. The threats it's designed for are rather uncommon for our typical usage scenarios.

STEVE!! I was looking for one of your posts! Did you ever come up with a dummies guide to dual booting a Kubuntu 14.04 install with rEFInd ?? I have been looking for that post for two days! You made reference to it in this post;

I think I like the idea and look of rEFInd. I just want to be redundantly paranoid for my machines at home.
