Watch Now : Virtual Machine Movement with Hyper-V

The Official Receiver has completed a report on Boo.com, copies of which are in the hands of its creditors.

The report fails to shed too much light into the extravagently funded online sportswear retailer, we understand. But it does come up with a final total for the whole sorry saga - a whopping £178 million.
