Hello, I think there are a lot of people in the same postion where we would like to upgrade Mapserver on Windows. I think there are a couple mapserver options out there yet.
1) Move to Linux. With the end of support for Windows XP coming up soon, I am sure that there will be plenty of extra computers around that you can try installing linux and mapserver on the machine. I know historically mapserver on Linux outperformed mapserver on Windows. 2) Encourage continued development of MS4W. A long time ago, I asked Jeff Mckenna about the Status of MS4W and how much it would cost to get an upgrade. The price he gave to me was more than what I think my organization could afford. However, I am sure if pool some development funds together from many organizations, then it may be easier for MS4W to keep up to date.
