Enterprise application is any software application that is

to large companies where there are multiple networks, multiple
offices and the same application and data must be used and access
from all locations or at least by a number of people.
so, would these two qualify as enterprise applications:
http://google.com
http://yahoo.com
just asked, because they appear to be fairly popular and dont seem
to be using .net or java
No, they are not enterprise applications. But, something like jabber
server would be an enterprise application.
The difference is that yahoo and google are public services that are
available and used by all. Enterprise Applications refers more to
softwares that one company or a corporate group would use.
I guess you are proving that it is not easy to define enterprise
applications and that is why it is so much misused.
