Playing with MSN Spaces

So I've set up a purely personal blog on MSN.  The picture management capability is interesting as it's a lot easier than having my own website (which I haven't updated in eons).  I'm thinking that maybe I'll give up my vanity domain and just simply use something like MSN Spaces for posting pictures of the family and kids and giving a quick update on what's going on. 

A) It seems like it would be a lot less work to update

B) It's free (for the time being)

C) Is there a C?

Any thoughts on the potential downsides?

C) If you're concerned about copyrights, then read MSN Terms of use:

Not worried about copyrights... plus this isn't any worse than almost any other blogging site, plus since I already work for them... :-)

The only other thing I would say is that you only get 10MB. My web provider gives me unlimited space for my website, so I don't need to constantly remove old photos. I guess MS might upgrade it in the future, like they did with hotmail, but even 250MB has nothing on unlimited space :)
