Informix WGE with IBM DB2 Gold Bundle

Looks like there is some hope for Informix in my company. I am proposing DB2 Gold Bundle for Workgroup edition so that we can switch to DB2 when we are ready. However there is a confusion in WGE features. Informix WGE can only run on max 2 CPU DB2 WGE = 4 CPU Informix WGE = No replication of any kind. DB2 WGE = Replication supported. If Gold Bundle gives the customer the option to switch to DB2 any time, shouldn't they have the same CPU limitation. Otherwise appropriate hardware has to be purchased. IBM Canada is saying that they have received this compliant from other customers and are working with IBM Data Management for reworking Informix limitation and *most likely* it will be made same as DB2 WGE. At $12,000 Canadian Dollars per CPU, on two 4 CPU boxes (Linux or Windows) with HDR replication we can have a cost effective high availability solution for just under $100,000. We can't think about it with enterprise server where it costs $70,000/cpu. Without replication of course, there is no HA. In other words goodbye Informix/DB2. Does anyone else knows about WGE. Thanks. ravi
