They no longer have the "ribbon-like" functionality now, but the name has apparently stuck. No wonder you are confused, so is everyone else not working on Windows. Here is a link to a Microsoft Word screen shot showing the ribbon: http://techhelpvideos.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/word-2007_2003-menus.jpg You'll find a gazillion more on Google Images In my experience, most people not working on Microsoft Office on a daily basis (Mac versions have ribbons too) find them confusing.
