You are wrong on the UUIDs, Variant 2 is what Microsoft did and got standardized after the fact.

And here the history and current usage of the PE format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Executable

It was made for Windows 3.1.

If you read my comment or the Wikipedia page you'll see clear as day that varient 2 is meant for windows, so I dont get this correction.

And again that source doesn't give me any evidence of your claim.
