But it's not just Windows Store. If you read that PCPerspective article I posted, you'll see that this is a problem of Windows 10:

"What we are seeing is the first implications of a new pipeline for graphics and compositing. WDDM 2.0 (Windows Display Driver Model) is a very big shift from what existed previously with WDDM 1.3. The days of exclusive fullscreen gaming may be on the way out as Microsoft shifts developers and hardware vendors into a standard path through the OS compositor rather than bypassing it. Implications for this change are only beginning to be understood, but let’s see how it affects Ashes of the Singularity today."

Therefore, the problem is not DX12, but Microsoft's attitude towards how the games and every other program must run on its OS.

But if MS fixes the V-sync and Fullscreen issues (Im pretty sure they did say they where wrking on fixing this) wouldnt it not be a problem then?.

Maybe its cos im already on Windows 10 so most of this stuff i dont really see as an issue as long as its fixed. Till then i wont be buying any games from the MS Store or any game that uses this system.

If you haven't, I recomend you to read the article I posted. Here's another excerpt that shows one of my worries:

"Microsoft is pushing DX12 games (and maybe not just those sold in the app store) to render through a standardized pipeline that uses the Windows compositing engine. In fact, from what I can tell, any game that is sold through the Windows App Store will be required to do so. Rendering through the Windows compositing engine is very similar to running in the borderless windowed mode that we have today (in that tearing is impossible but uncapped frame rates are also difficult to deal with).

Down the road, it appears that Microsoft thinks that running all games through the compositing engine will allow for unique features and additions to PC games, including multi-plane overlays."

This isn't about Windows Store, every game running on Windows 10 or that makes use of DX12 could be like that.
