The Information Assurance Mission at NSA says:

Windows 7 = Yes! Yes!
Windows Vista = Yes! Yes!
64 bit versions of above = Yes! Yes! Yes!

Windows XP = Oh Nooo.

Mac OS X = maybe, IF...

LINUX = *chirp* *chirp*

Translation: The NSA REALLY wants you running New Microsoft Products where they have control and can monitor you.
The NSA has no desire for you to consider Linux.

I think that guide is more for NSA employees or those working with sensitive material in the private sector. Now if it was published by the DHS I might think twice but really it has good info, like beware of posting photos from a camera phone as they sometimes have embedded location data (think iphone).
 
I just wear a tin foil hat and all my my electronic devices have their own little tin foil hats. They're so cute !!
