I wouldn't mind Windows demo coming first.

That's the same as preventing an entire kids soccer team from having cookies and cake just because two kids are allergic to chocolate and thus everyone has to wait while the raisin cookies and vanilla cake are made.

Bad analogy imo : Imagine that the kids soccer team is having cookies and cake, but two kids on the team aren't, but are told "We know you can't eat chocolate, in three days you two can come get some raisin cookies and vanilla cake, in the meantime try to have fun watching the other boys and girls eat."

So you're saying even tho all the kids want cake and cookies it's better to make ALL of them wait two or three days.
As I said earlier... I wouldn't mind waiting while others enjoyed the demo, but I guess not everyones is as caring and generous.

It's called "solidarity"

.

I suppose it's also a practical issue. Any bugs found in the Windows version will also be found in the Linux and Mac versions. So it's better to fix as many bugs as possible while the demo is in one piece, than to release it as three versions (Win, Mac, and Linux) and then have to fix each issue three times (one for each version). Could that be it?

I agree with NTJedi on one point. I don't see any problems why a Window$ version shouldn't be released before the linux playtesting.

Me neither.

Yea I agree, as well.

Fingers crossed the demo will be out Oct. 2nd, then we can all play and play and play...until the full version arrives...then we can...yes u guessed...play and play again...

Safekeeper has got it right. All bugs will be fixed at once that way. After the fixes have been implemented there will be a very quick test of all 3 versions and then all will be released at once.
