I thought one of the coolest feature was the ability to add and remove the entire UI: http://blogs.technet.com/b/klince/archive/2012/04/02/windows-server-8-switching-between-core-and-gui.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/klince/archive/2012/04/02/windows...

Yeah, this is a nice feature that is quite useful. While you can install SQL Server on core through powershell, it's a lot simpler to just upgrade and use the GUI then downgrade back to core.
