.NET

I'm building a WPF application and working with the MVVM pattern.

I have 4 projects in my solution, 3 class libraries, Data, Model and ViewModel and the WPF executable View.

Is there anything wrong with the Model referencing WindowsBase so that I can use ObservableCollection<T> for example or can I just make use of what I intuitively feel I need without worrying about the original purposes of the class in the framework e.g. collection databinding.
