---- Is bing using adwords ads to create it's serps?

Was just checking some ranking in bing and noticed a result listing a url on my site that was set up for an adwords ad, now how in the world did they end up with that in their results?

example url: example.com/widget/?pk_campaign=adwords&pk_kwd=keyword

Could only be 3(?) explanations I think:

1. bing is crawling adwords ads (scary)
2. someone linked to the page after visiting from the ad causing bing to index.
3. bing is using user data from IE

I think either 1 or 3, 2 is highly unlikely since most/more people would link to the page without the url variables.
