Ah yes, the old AOD vs CAOD debate. I always remembered that AOD was the way to go with 'real' players.
Personaly I'm still playing AOD using DOSBox.
And to those that say DOSBox is complicated to configure (I agree), don't forget about the frontends!
I'm using D.O.G. that makes all DOSBox configurations (screen resolution, CD drive location, sound, CPU speed etc...) a breeze!

Long live classic gaming, when gameplay was more important then eye candy!
