the Ribbon UI is a sort of Toolbar or rather Command Bar which arranges different Command buttons, gallaries, etc in Tabs at the top of the application Window. The controls in the Tabs can further be grouped and also introduces Contextural Tabs etc. So in short, Ribbon replaces toolbar and menu controls that are there with windows and gives a solid look on the application UI.
IF you use VC2010 to New a MFC project, you can see the Ribbon UI in the res,and you can edit the ribbon in the res.
