Why should I have to pay for the clustering support to run on a single machine? With DB2, I can install the free Personal Edition with basic support (i.e. single node, single processor). I can install the (relatively expensive) Enterprise Extended Edition and get everything. And versions in between. I can choose how much money to spend by the features I want. Same with my customers.

Also - as Serge pointed out - once I hve it installed, the same DLL and application code works in all versions.
