Initialize Ribbon base on version of Outlook (2007/2010) in Visual Studio 2010/VSTO 4.0

I'm creating an Outlook add-in for 2007/2010 using Visual Studio 2010, VSTO 4.0

I have 3 Projects:

I'm just trying to load the correct version of the ribbon (DESIGNER) based on the version 

    private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        majorVersion = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.Version.Split(new char[] { '.' })[0];
        if (majorVersion == 12) //Outlook 2007
        {
            Initialize2007UI();  
        }
        else if (majorVersion >= 14) //Outlook 2010
        {
            Initialize2010UI();   
        }
    }

How do I implement Initialize2007UI() and Initialize2010UI(); to load their respective Ribbon1.cs in the Explorer window and Ribbon2.cs in the Inspector window?

thanks!!!!

Hope I'm clear on what i"M asking :)

probably this is what you are looking out for

protected override Office.IRibbonExtensibility CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject()
{
    majorVersion = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.Version.Split(new char[] { '.' })[0];
        if (majorVersion == 12) //Outlook 2007
        {
             return new Ribbon2007();
        }
        else if (majorVersion >= 14) //Outlook 2010
        {
            return new Ribbon2010();
        }


}


[ComVisible(true)]
public class Ribbon2007: Office.IRibbonExtensibility
{
    public string GetCustomUI(string ribbonID)
        {
                    var ribbonXml = GetResourceText("Ribbon2007.xml");                 
                    XNamespace nameSpace = @"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui";                  
                    return ribbonXml;
    }
}
