You bet it will. If MS does not revoke them, it will reflect very badly on the security of their program.

If anything, I'd expect code signing certificates to be at more risk. Usage of these certificates is inherently much more difficult to track, as signed executables are much harder to discover than web servers. As such, even if there were a "certificate transparency" process for code signing certificates (which I don't believe there is), it'd be difficult to prove it was being operated honestly.
