Sorry to be a n00b on the subject, but what's a ribbon interface?

The ribbon is what they call the new user interface in Office 2007.

I was responding to the initial "I've read on wikipedia that microsoft is considering to remove the ribbon interface". I should have said 'Remove?', not 'Removed?'

Ah I see.
Personally, I'm not too fond of that UI.
MS has billions of dollars, they can do better.

I think that it is a pretty good UI personally, having tried it on my PC, though my dad doesn't really care for it. I think it organizes stuff much better than before.
