Hey,
none answered you yet? Thats strange.

MS4W basically *is* MapServer - no better or worse , but it includes 
loads of additinal goodies that you might or might not need. Regarding 
security issues, all that your admin has to do is close the doors on her 
system as she would in any security environment. That enough?

Best,
