Sorry guys, Winulous doesn't, couldn't ever, and will never, exist. It was entirely a joke. It will never be real. There is no way to get past the blue screen of death. Some of you were so desperate for this to work, it almost pains me to tell you this ;-)
Many of you caught on right away, and for those of you who played along with the joke, all of us want to say 'thanks' for making it so much fun  We got some absolutely hilarious reactions from some of our members, and we couldn't have done it without you!
What some of you didn't pick up on, though, is that Winulous actually IS a real program in our Cydia repo right now. It's hilariously amusing to watch, especially with all the different "startup actions" it has to go through. And it's pretty accurate, too. I mean, honestly, I've probably never seen a more accurate portrayal of a desktop Windows OS on a mobile device before! Anyway, we'll be keeping Winulous in the repo for awhile (labeled as a joke, of course) so that those of you who missed today's festivities can go have a look.
This gag comes to you from all of us here at 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩. Yours truly for thinking up the joke itself and writing the 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 advertisement, Genius Blog for all the graphics, the ridiculously cool teaser trailer and fake screenshots (see them here -- by the way, that was the music from Batman, for all of you who asked) and 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 advertisement, SaladFork for creating the actual Winulous app, and a bunch of us (especially most_uniQue!) for spending the first few hours of the joke deleting the party-pooper comments that gave it away on the first couple pages. We'll try to get those comments back so you can see what was actually said
