Management went out to party on the company dime. Got back the next day, drunk and needed something quickly and cheaply.
One manager managed to hack into their kid's computer and found the basic system, hired them and went into production. As more developers were hired, the system grew into a gigantic monolithic piece of bloat-ware and somehow got tied into the operating system. They're stuck with it.
So a 1000 high school kids on a 1000 computers came up with Windows Orkut.
