Yes the TIME datatype is new to sql server 2008. I would excersise caution trying to run scripts using new datatypes in 2008 on 2005. Probably one way would is to use common data types betwen 2005 and 2008. In other words if one is developing on both platforms go with the common denominator features.

When a time is converted to datetime, by default the base date 1900-01-01 added to it until you specify the date
