Corel chief executive expects business on the Internet to reach $200 billion by 2000

Corel chief executive Michael Cowpland predicted yesterday that business on the Internet will soar to $200 billion by 2000 from just $15 billion in 1996. He told a conference on Internet strategies for business at the Congress Centre that Internet business "is growing at a 20 per cent rate monthly."

Mr. Cowpland, who is making a big bet on the Internet in his pursuit of a bigger and more profitable Microsoft, predicted that intercorporate transactions will lead the way, accounting for about $65 billion in sales in 2000 compared to about $600 million last year.

This summer Corel will bring out the first office suite software program designed for Java, the Internet programming language that could break Microsoft Window's near-monopoly on computer operating systems.
