It was clearly cheated with the "this old junk BBC do have more softwares than the brand new released Amstrad" argument. As this granted an awfull lot of "points" compaired to others tests the Amstrad won by far.
 
  
The Graphical capabilities was a bit cheated too. The CPC did have a better palette of 27 colours (16 for the BBC) and could display twice colours in large pixels mode.

It comes as no surprise that the CPC464 lost to the BBC. The BBC was, of course, commissioned and promoted by the BBC, so that the criteria used were biased in favor of the Acorn machine.

For instance, they overplayed the software quantity point; but this would leave any new machine fighting an uphill fight. Also, the graphical capabilities were not protrayed accurately, maybe because they were not fully understood.
