This method won't work for current versions of Ubuntu because the method described in the first post is for versions of Ubuntu using legacy GRUB.
You can still install Ubuntu first, then add Windows 7. As before you will need to reset GRUB 2 as the boot loader on MBR. You can do so by following these instructions
The above instructions are part of a larger guide to GRUB 2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
Multi-boot: Arch linux, Ubuntu 12.04, Windows 7 & Windows 8
