Novell and Apple actually have a lot in common as far as their relationship with Microsoft is concerned. Remember that Microsoft does not mind using Apple to knock off its #1 rival, which is Free software (mainly the GPL), by it very own and recent admission. It calls it "Linux" and tries to separate "open source" from the rest (Ah! The power of words).
Be aware that Apple/Mac users are a source of revenue to Microsoft (patent deals/cross-licensing, Microsoft Office for Mac, etc.), unlike GNU/Linux.
Microsoft is also afraid of Google, to which GNU is an important enabler. The same goes for IBM which strategises like this (also, increasingly, Sun, Oracle and others).
