You can purchase Windows Embedded Industry 8.1 as part of a volume purchase agreement, so no, it's not OEM only.
But the question around Windows Thin PC is a different one. I don't really see Windows Embedded Industry 8.1 as a replacement (and it's certainly not free :)). I'm unaware of any current plans to release an updated Windows Thin PC.

Does anyone know if Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise is for OEM's only? In other words is there or will there be an updated edition of thin PC? ________________________________ John Marcum Sr. Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Hunt Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 7:17 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MDT-OSD] Windows 8.1 RTM and Windows Server 2012 R2 RTM available...
