A week ago we all know what happened, and perhaps thinking about all the ladies who walk hackers turning around, Ambrosia Software launched Uplink. The idea is that for a while you become a "Mr. Hacker and Cracker", but in 2010 and a superinternet very different from now and more similar to that found on CSI.
In the first part of the game you go into some systems and unauthorized dodge certain challenges, after which - as a good Mr cracker - you have to steal information (anyone said databases?) And sabotage to a couple of companies to complete washing money by removing the traces of crime and making things look an accident. The horse's head is not included.
Uplink is available for OS X 10.3.9 onwards for 30 days as a trial, after which you must cancel U.S. $ 30 (USD $ 13,990) for his license.

Microsoft, after their investigations had not been assured that any downloaded files from their facilities ...
Will we see a bit Windows emulators for Linux based on this code or Windows systems "Clones"?
