I have never really used orkut, however bebo has also jumped in the copy facebook boat (I say recently but it happened ages ago) it only used to have widgets, now it's got apps.
as for the orkut apps being better than facebook I (think I) can offer some light onto why. Are you familiar with igoogle? its a personalized Google home you can set up complete with gmail apps, games, weather. kinda like widgets for google desktop, oh wait, its basically the same thing...

Yeah Google is great, if they ever bring out an operating system, I would use it. It would probably rock too.
Yeah I would rate Google as Number: 1 when it comes to innovative web strategy. Its Nearly impossible to start as a search engine and to become a competition to the world richest company. In this very short time. Google has nearly cornered most of the leading giants in the industry. People could find this very easily by looking at the top 10 alexa ratings.
Google operating System??? I guess its really really possible, IMO Google is really trying to infiltrate Microsoft in all means, remember Google docs and spreadsheets, Its not gonna be tough, to release them as stand alone software package for office set.
I guess they are looking for the right time. Moreover, i guess Google operating systems will be free of cost.
Really looking forward for a OS from Google. A Google fanboy here
