Full version of Windows 8.1 - it will be available and how much it will cost it?

I recently bought an iMac, installed Parallels on it so I can run some Windows programs, only that I need to use.

I tried to migrate to Windows Vista from my PC via an external hard drive, but continue to get the error messages and since I really don't want to continue using Windows Vista, I would like to know if - when Windows 8.1 comes out - it will be available in full version (I don't want an OEM version that I heard that these versions are not guaranteed to run on Parallels).
I tried to buy a full version of Windows 7, but the price is quite high and it seems more sensible to go for the latest version of Windows, if I can. As others have commented it Windows 8 is not available in full version (unless you buy OEM). This leaves only really WIndows 8.1.
If Windows 8.1 will be available in full version, I would also like to know how much it will cost.
Thanks for any help that anyone can give.

Hello

When Windows 8.1 is out, there will be major changes to the license.

The concept of an 'upgrade' version is removed. All versions of Windows 8.1 will be full versions. This version can be used to upgrade or installed on a blank disc with no earlier versions of Windows.

The retail price will be, Windows 8.1 $119.99 (US) and Windows Pro 8.1 will be available for $199.99 (US).

There is always a version System Builder (OEM) available from third party resellers.
