False, false, false!
Please educate yourself before posting.
Windows 2000:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/howitworks/terminal/rdpfan
dp.asp
Default configuration is 56-bit, you can set this to 128-bit.
Windows XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/default.mspx
Default configuration is 128-bit
Windows Server 2003
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/terminalservices
/default.mspx
Default configuration is 128-bit, and there is FIPS-encryption level
available (for even more security)
The encryption level can be configured on the server.
>From the RDP-Tcp Properties on Windows 2000 Advanced Server:
"Encryption level: Medium
All data sent between the client and the server is protected by
encryption based on the server's standard key strength"
That is the default setting!
