I just dual-booted my windows 8.1 with Ubuntu 12.04.03 on UEFI. No problems. The only thing is that the GRUB menu doesn't render properly. The text is all jagged up. Here's what I see:

I don't know why but the following solved the problem:
My default bootloader was windows and it used to give some sort of an error (bootmanager.efi not found) and then I used to do a F12 on the start screen to go to the Ubuntu GRUB menu where I used to get the jagged screen.
So what I did was, I went to the BIOS menu and made the GRUB the default bootloader and the next time I started up my machine, I got the normal purple GRUB menu without any problem.
Still no clue why this happened, but it seemed to work for me.
