How crazy. The BBC "won" by 10 points because they gave the BBC 17 more points for available extensions and only 5 to the Amstrad, which was fresh on the market.

Seriously, the biggest difference is in software. 25 point for that.

Would be nice to do such comparison today.

Also the speed comparison is unfair (for the BBC, which I don't like, but let's stay fair).

What is unfair for the BBC?

The difference in the time measurement was only something about 0,1% (part of a second only).

Running a program some random dude wrote on each machine's BASIC is also kind of ridiculous but anyhow, that was enjoyable!
