No, these are added by the server; this has been covered more
extensively if you care to look at the support list archives.

No need to prove you wrong; voice/video isn't yet supported on Windows
(or on any other platform where the dependencies aren't available).
There are people working on it - if/when it the functionality ready,
then it'll work on Windows too.

Your last comment doesn't make any sense - there are are any number of
features are enabled/disabled based on the platform or other criteria.
 In this case, just because VV isn't enabled, that doesn't at all mean
that Pidgin can't continue to be as useful as it has always been on
Windows.

Helpful hint: If you don't want to be flamed, you should avoid making
statements that clearly even you perceive as flamebait.
