Quick comment:

MS4W is in fact ready to use in a production environment, and it is 
definitely used for production purposes by thousands of organizations: 
take the time to review the steps to enable FastCGI, for example 
(http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#f-fastcgi).

Long-time MS4W users might remember that the MS4W opening page used to 
state that it was not for production purposes; but that is no longer the 
case.

Thanks.
