When do you recommend using 2008 server core installations ?

What is the real world application for this ?
 
The point of server core is security, without a gui it has a low security profile meaning its harder to hack, in theory anyway. I would use it for Hyper V, a domain controller, DHCP, DNS, print server, anything but file server or application server.
 
The GUI doesn't make it any more/less "hackable", rather it uses resources that could be better utilized for serving processes.
