Correct. These standards predate Windows, well, recognisable versions - lets not forget Windows 1.0 was around in 1985, and VESA wasn't established until 1989, to standardise support for 800x600 displays.
And even if MS had a bearing on it, could you really expect anyone to predict that 15 years later we'd be watching movies on a computer?

Wasn't the VGA standard defined by someone else (VESA springs to mind?) My understanding is that graphics cards support specific resolutions such as 320x240, 640x480 etc. and Windows naturally uses these resolutions. As much as I dislike Microsoft I don't think it's fair to blame them for this.
