Yes it does. Just stick to the latest version of Ubuntu - 14.04 LTS, and allow installer to shrink existing Windows partitions automatically. See Install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for details.

Yes it does, I have Windows 8.1 dual booted with Ubuntu 14.04. There are detailed instructions in this forum on how to do it. In essence, here is what I did.
Disable secure boot in the BIOS. Disabled hibernation and fast boot in Windows 8.1. Use a partition tool to shrink my windows partition. Install Ubuntu (creating partitions in the free space) Run 'boot-repair' cd.
It's dual booting fine.
