Not correct. Database mirroring is supported in Std Edition, but you need two licenses. The third server, the "witness" server can be an XP OS and SQL Server 2005 Express (Free version) can be used on the witness server since it does a crucial function but doesn't do any heavy processing. You can run without the witness server, but then you don't automatic failover.
And of course, you need to be using the new SQL server 2005 native client libraries on the client stations for transparent/automatic failover. ---- Robert E.
