There are public databases of APs. Google reportedly used their Android users to sniff APs (?), and used StreetView vehicles to wardrive. MS can surely pin many APs to user's PII and locations just on the data they already have?

Pretty sure that's how it works across all phones. I know that's how Apple gets their location services database at least.
