Windows 8 Ribbon UI for Windows 7 Explorer

When Windows 8 developer preview was released, one of the major changes was to the Windows Explorer, the new Explorer featured a ribbon UI with all the functions integrated into tabs. If you are running Windows 7, you can now get the ribbon UI on explorer with BExplorer or Better Explorer.
