That's fine. The main point, though, doesn't have anything to do with
licensing. It has to do with the perspective with which you approach a SQL
Server cluster. There was one way to do this, explained by the terminology
in use, in SQL Server 7.0. SQL Server 2000 has some VERY fundamental and
VERY wide reaching architectural changes which completely invalidate the
terminology used in SQL Server 7.0. A SQL Server 2000 cluster does not
operate in any manner, from an architectural level, that is even
recognizable in a SQL Server 7.0 perspective. It isn't exactly easy to
explain, but it is extremely fundamental to understanding clustering in SQL
Server 2000.
