IIRC, NT TS 4.0 was acquired from Citrix Metaframe. This "intentionally" limiting of Windows 2000 Server to 256 colors was due to restrictions from Citrix. And let's think about this...
1) Windows 2000 => Windows 2003 : An "improvement" in colors = intentional sabotaging of the older product, even before the release of Windows 2003, to motivate an upgrade.
2) Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Services => Windows 2000 : A (supposed) degradation in colors = intentionally discouraging upgrades?
Something doesn't make sense. Flame this post if you want, mod it down if you want, but really, the parent argument makes no sense in the big view of things.

Meant to say Citrix. Metaframe was the product.
