Get Windows 8 Ribbon UI On Windows XP, Vista, and 7 Explorer

On the leaked version of Windows 8, which is Windows 8 Milestone 2 Build 7955, Microsoft has leaked the new Ribbon UI (User Interface) on the Windows 8 Explorer. The Ribbon UI has the function to do something on a specified folder or on a file that you are currently pointing or opening, burn DVD or CDs, create a new folder, customize the preview of your Windows Explorer, and more. For Windows 8 users, this feature is a very great feature and they are lucky to have it!
If you are not a Windows 8 Milestone user and wanted to have a Ribbon UI on your Windows explorer on old versions of Windows, why not try this great Win 8 Ribbon UI for Styler skin created by our DeviantART firend PeterRollar?
