If you have an XP pro workstation ready to be a spare server, does this
mean you have to buy two sets of licences?

server failure.
I like to have another suitable desktop/'emergency server' which can
serve as an emergency server, which copies the server's data into the
relevant folders after the backup each night. I'm hardware focussed,
I suppose. To be sure, to be sure, to be sure.
We always put in at least one desktop machine to run all the shit that
shouldn't be on the server (pathology etc particularly in a TS
environment) and the scanner.
Nowadays we set it up at installation time to be a warm spare server,
with the database/s replicating as automatically and as often as
possible.
With thin client failure rates at 0% I don't recommend client / server
to anyone but the smallest site <= 5 seats.
