from JK's post I deduce not so much that the windoze version is ready to be released, but ready to be tested. This gives some time for the Mac and Linux versions to be put together. I doubt that they'll come out at different times.

N.B. I speak as a rational being rather than as a beta tester (which is not to imply that you can't be both

)

Bummer... 97% of us have to wait longer for the Dominions_3 demo because of the 3% which use Mac and Linux.

I really don't think the Mac and Linux users will lose sleep if the Windows version demo is released a few days earlier.

How much money are you willing to bet ?

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.

I know I wouldn't mind waiting while everyone else is having a great time playing the demo while I waited... guess some people are not as caring and generous.

I wouldn't mind Windows demo coming first.

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.
