You assume they were indexing skydrive documents. It could well be that one of the people who visited the link had a Bing toolbar installed.

Either way, all publicly accesible documents will get indexed sooner or later.

This was before the document had been sent to anyone. It was still being edited, only my friend and I were working on it. Also, the documents were not public.

I would be surprised if Microsoft is intentionally indexing links in private documents, but my point stands: Google et al are remarkably good at indexing the web. If you don't want an otherwise public URL indexed you must use robots.txt or equivalent.

Which only blocks bots that respect the file...

You may be right, but I can't help but smirk at the thought of PG or Buchheit downloading and installing the Bing Toolbar ;)
