It appears that my use of the word "open" is causing some reactions. My use of "open", was meant as in a "flat file system" context where the access to the data is open and does not requires user or application credentials to access the data file to manipulate or apply any transformation to the data.

Agree Richard, M$ likes to keep it all wrapped.
