Right now, you can get Windows 8 from the Microsoft Store for 39.99 until January 31st 2013, if you purchase through amazon.com/software you pay 69.99.

Right now, the only edition of Windows 8 you can purchase at retail is Windows 8 Pro which is the most complete edition and is recommended since it satisfies most users needs and does not lack certain basics.

As for Microsoft Office 2013 which is the latest version, if you purchase a retail copy of Office 2010 today, you can get a free upgrade to the corresponding edition of Office 2013 for free:

Windows 8: Which Version Should You Choose?
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/253990/windows_8_which_version_should_you_choose.html

"Microsoft has made things simpler for Windows 8. With Windows 7,
customers had to wade through the features and capabilities of seven different versions
to choose the Windows 7 to meet their needs. With Windows 8,
Microsoft has essentially narrowed the options down to consumer and business.
There’s Windows 8 for consumers, and Windows 8 Pro for business use. Period."

Also note that the final release of Windows 8 will not support upgrading
from any prior Windows 8 "Preview" release, though the migrate option will still be supported.

In any upgrade scenario, you can run the Disk Cleanup Wizard to remove the previous
installation in order to free up disk space.
The download will also support boot from USB for a completely clean installation as well.
