Good read mate.

Trying to get my head around this...Potentially a stupid question but does it allow you to:

- create a 2 node cluster, 2 Standalone instance, with no shared disk?

If so, in the above scenario:

- If primary fails, same as DB mirroring: force online with data-loss accepted

- If secondary instance fails, does that still wipe out the AWO group? (on node majority).
