It looks like this may supercede the NSA one. From the FAQ for the guide at http://csrc.nist.gov/itsec/guidance_WinXP.html:
How were the publication and security templates developed?
The publication was developed by NIST; however, NIST started with excellent material developed by the National Security Agency (NSA), DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency), Microsoft, and other members of the security community. NIST collaborated with NSA, DISA, the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and Microsoft to produce the publication's consensus baseline settings for various operational environments.
