I have been doing a lot of thinking about DB Mirroring over the weekend and also SQL Server Express.  I am almost positive that DB Mirroring will not be part of SQL Server Express, but I wonder if SQL Server Express could be used as a witness in the “Automatic Failover” scenario since the witness does very little except “Vote” on who the Principal Server is serving the mirrored DB.

I have posted this very question in the ng.  I will report back on the responses.

Also, I will be at PASS in Orlando next month and will attempt to blog everyday.  There is still a substantial discount if you register by Aug 31!
