That's absolutely right - either MSFT is charging too much, or too little. The government would look awfully silly requesting that MSFT include the browser in an add-on "Plus!"-type pack, for which it will charge extra. Yet I've heard that suggested by some arm-chair "expert". That's supposed to be good for consumers? And yet, like you say has happened, I've heard one MSFT critic saying that the Plus! pack for Win95 was an example of monopoly power being used to pry more money out of customers. This whole suit is plainly about two things only - Netscape's failure and Microsoft's success. Somehow it's Microsoft's fault when any two-bit wanna-be software co goes belly-up.
