The id Software Website is offering a new multiplayer demo for QUAKE 4 (thanks Frans), based on the new version 1.4.2 patch (story), while offering content different from the QUAKE 4 demo released in November 2005 (story). Word is:

Following closely behind the release of the QUAKE 4 1.4.2 Point Release Patch, the QUAKE 4 1.4.2 Multiplayer Demo is now available for download. The new Multiplayer Demo comes with three maps, VERTICON (q4xtourney2), OVER THE EDGE (q4dm7) and SPEED TRAP (q4ctf3) for your enjoyment.

The QUAKE 4 1.4.2 Multiplayer Demo is not compatible with any other versions of QUAKE 4, including the retail edition of QUAKE 4. Therefore, players will only be able to connect and play against other QUAKE 4 1.4.2 Demo users.

demo and retail quake3's were compatible

No, they weren't. The demo version of Quake 3 could not play on retail Quake 3 servers because #1, demo users had no CD key, and #2, demo users' PK3 files were different so they would not pass the "pure" test. There are even separate server lists for demo and retail servers just as there are for Quake 4.
