windows 8 retail box version

Hi,

I am using linux. I want to buy windows 8 pro to dual boot with linux. Is there a boxed version of windows 8 pro ? Or can i download windows 8 pro full version by paying through online store in India. All my search leads to upgrade version. What about full version ?? The online microsoft store for India (www.microsoftstore.co.in) says down for maintainence.  And none of the online store like flipkart.com has windows 8. They are only selling laptops and mobile with windows 8 pre loaded. So is microsoft not selling windows 8 to individuals ? Do i have to buy a new Computer to get windows 8 ? BTW, I am in India.

with regards,
ashwin
