1) Standard Windows Interface with menus and a secondary bar of formatting buttons if necessary.

2) Ribbon Panel interface used by some Office applications, Paint and Wordpad.

3) Hidden Menu Interface. This is primarily used by their Internet Applications including Internet Explorer, Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Messenger. Though it is also used in the default view of Windows Explorer (in Windows 7) as well.
