One use for a Server Core install of Windows is something like Exchange or MSSQL (shudder). Or perhaps a Domain Controller. You can manage those through PowerShell much better in the later versions of Windows Server and of those programs.
This is not a topic on linux vs. Windows so you loose. This was about which version of windows you like more then the other.
Without a GUI it's all about powershell or web interface (like Exchange 2013)
Why would anyone still consider buying their own Exchange server with all the on going costs and headaches that entails? I mean besides a few obvious exceptions which don't apply to the vast majority of situations. The hosted services make more sense for most people now a days.
LDAP Integration + internal firewalls and tie in to those apps, e.g. Sharepoint.

You can do all that with office 365 as well I believe. Again, you are reaching for the exceptions and I already stated there will always be some.
Windows Server 2012 system requirements are killing.
eh, what? I run it (2012 R2) on 512MB RAM and 15GB HDD inside a KVM... it works FAR better than my old 2008 R2.
When the contract with your clients says that data (trade secrets) that client send to you should not go on third party services. This is just one example.
I second this.
We have recent case here in Sweden were what we call "kommun" (if you should compare it with something American, I think countys are what comes close) recently were dragged into court because they can not say where their data is stored. They are using cloud services.
So by law they need to know where and that their data is stored within the borders.
The court cas will be interesting to follow.
