Can AA with this many colors but it won't look very antialiased.

Same concept.  The "jaggies" will abound but perhaps at this higher 
resolution it won't seem so bad.

256 color icons exist, so too do many splash screens and such.

I for one think I don't know Chris's idea there at the moment  :-)
