Database Clustering, SQL Server Editions, and Operations Manager 2007

We've been asked in the newsgroups:
How does database clustering require enterprise edition? I still don't understand ... You can cluster with standard, if so that's clustering, correct? Other than having more nodes than two, are there any benefits, as they relate to the OpsMgr database itself that you gain by going to Enterprise Edition over Standard? Does it do re-indexing and stuff that may take it offline while jobs run, etc that warrant paying more for Enterprise?

Okay, here's how it works:

* SQL Server Standard Edition supports up to two clustered nodes - and for the OpsMgr databases, those can be configured as active/passive
* SQL Server Enterprise Edition supports up to 8 clustered nodes

The operating system in either case MUST be Windows Server Enterprise (or Datacenter) Edition. (continue at source)
