There’s no entry for the distribution’s installer in the Release Notes, but while attempting to dual-boot Ubuntu 14.10 and Windows 8 on a computer with UEFI firmware, I observed that it reported at the Installation type step that ???This computer currently has Windows Boot Manager on it. What would you like to do???? That’s an improvement, because in previous editions, the installer tended to report ???This computer currently has no detected operating system???, even when there’s one on the target hard drive
