i can choose this:

Norton Internet Security 2008 - 15 Month Subscription +$59.99
   Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 (Excel, Powerpoint, Word, OneNote)  +$129.99
   3 Year Basic (Tech Support - Parts - Factory Labor)

It comes to 599.99 with out all of that. Should I just wait for Microsoft Office and buy it later or now?

Did you know you can get AVG for free which is better than Norton, and you can hypothetically download Microsoft Office 2007 on BitTorrent for free?

Get Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/).  It's much better than Microsoft Office, in my opinion, and COMPLETELY FREE and LEGAL.

Get Avast free and say "fuck you" to Norton.  Norton is terrible.

I agree with the above posts.  Don't waste your money on Norton.  It doesn't work and it's not worth the money.  Avast and AVG are free alternatives that work much better.  Personally, I like Avast better.  It's a bit easier to use.  

And if you are just doing basic word processing and such, Open Office is a good alternative.  And, its free.  Also, if you are in Windows, you can get SunMicrosystem's word processor, Star Office for free through the google download pack.  It's very similar to Word and OpenOffice, but it's got some extra support and clipart and extra features with it.  Here's the link to it.

Are you a college student or high school student? You might be able to get those programs either for free or a hell of a lot cheaper than that.

At my last school, I was able to get MacAfee for free and get Microsoft Office for about $45.
