Several major keys from various CAs have been compromised already: more will come. If this scheme really gets going, these keys will be a *major* target -- do you really imagine that nobody with sufficient resources to get a copy won't try? (Perhaps, if they are sufficiently clever and lucky, they might even arrange to get the *only* copy: that'd be amazingly useful to extort money from MS with, though very hard since I'm sure MS have lots of backups).
