After reading Wolfbyte's answer on Enterprise FizzBuzz I have thought about what constitutes a program as "Enterprise".

What makes an application or a software development process as Enterprise?

EDIT: It seems like there is a lot of negativity around the word Enterprise. Are there anyone who actually enjoys writing Enterprise-Level applications?

Slow. Hard to use. Expensive. Based on obsolete technology. See the rails plugin "acts_as_enterprisey"

I kid.

Seriously though, it generally refers to things written for use by Fortune-1000 types, where there are large numbers of users and complex business rules.
