I was hoping for a native Windows client as well. Too bad :(
I guess it's not possible to play MoO2 on some higher resolution, is it?
Neither fullscreen nor window-mode (640x480) looks that great on a 24" display...

Well we are not officially supporting windows version but you can find files necessary to run it in installation directory. I were able to start it after downloading one library from internet. Still we are supporting only DOS version.

Thanks for the tip!
I managed to start the orion95.exe after creating a copy of the file "dplayx.dll" inside the folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ (for Win7 x64, it should be C:\Windows\System32\ under 32-Bit) and renaming it to "dplay.dll".
But I have yet to find a way to play it in window-mode.
The DOSBox version makes multitasking on an old single-core Athlon64 quite impossible unfortunately. The CPU gets maxed out by the game.

Set window and fullscreen resolution in dosbox to =native, set the scaler to =hq3x and you will get a way better picture
and if you get rainbow colors, change the graphic mode (ddraw, opengl and so on...)
