Borislav,
I have 0 (zero, null, nil) clients that use SQL Server 2008. So you can't lose what you don't have :). Seriously though, I am thinking that by the time I have my app ready and used by a real client, hopefully SQL Server 2008 will be more accepted. Another thought I have is that if a client does not have SQL Server 2008, I will provide them with the 2008 EXPRESS version (which is free) and my database is typically small so EXPRESS will be sufficient.
