Core is a stripped down version of those products, with very little installed.

Microsoft:

The Server Core installation option for the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles that reduces the maintenance and management requirements and the attack surface for those server roles.

If i understand correctly "core" mean things like the web edition, which has limited functionality.

If you are using Windows Standard/Ent/DC then dont worry.

Just found a Link in Petri's site that may give you an insight.
