Anyway, if I go the definition wrong, then I meant to say widely distributed applications.
Sorry for being so specific - we develop enterprise applications here

From wikipedia:

An enterprise application is typically a software application hosted on an application server which simultaneously provides services to a large number of users, typically over a computer network. This is in contrast to the more common single-user software applications which run on the user's own local computer, and serve only one user at a time
So IE does not fit in that realm - it's run individually one user at a time.

In my opinion - the enterprise applications we develop (which serve 1000+ users on a WAN at a large customer site) are best written in a language like VB. That's because we constantly enhance this behemoth of a product for our customers.

Products like IE - which must properly utilize the local resources of a machine - are probably better written in a "closer-to-machine-code" language. But that isn't my area of expertise...
