"Not what was advertised, version 5 is useless for PC"
Pros
Software interface and "Tree view" of your data is very intuitive. Was exactly what I wanted for organizing my paperwork.
Cons
It is not functional from a PC users point of view. Documents are not stored in an economical fashion (1 page document, mostly white space, took 64.3 MB. Database has a 40 gig limit. Has to be installed on C:\ drive.

It's all about the size restrictions on the PC version. I have heard that the Mac version does not have these limits. You can not move the database (without tricking the program, and using Windows 7 folder redirects). 40 gig limit, and I've put in 77 documents, and I have used up 2.1% of that limit. At this rate, it will only allow me to store between 5000 to 6000 documents. That sounds like a lot, but it's not. It's a little over 2 years worth of receipts, bills, insurance policies, HSA / bank statements, etc. There is no way to archive the old data. Overall it's just very inefficient, and not useable for someone with a need to store more than 5000 documents. There has been no response from Neat support / staff in the Neat Community boards about the database restrictions. I would NOT recommend purchasing this product until the storage algorithms are fixed, and the size restrictions are corrected on the PC version.
