Can you pull out the "tabs" and have them floating as opposed to pinned or docked, just like you can with regular web browsers?
Mac: Any Tab can be undocked from the unified window, therefore you can have the main framed window in full screen mode (or not, as you wish) and any number of undocked windows on a separate display.
I understand on the Windows side of things we can't have any ArchiCAD windows outside the ArchiCAD main window frame (and by extension no multi-window/multi-display capability. And I'm still not clear if this is a limitation within Windows itself, or is a PC hardware issue, that Mac users don't have to be subjected to or if we'll ever get it at all in Windows, ever.)
I was asking WITHIN the ArchiCAD window frame (obviously on a single monitor or display), are all the windows/views locked on to the Tab Bar, or can we still minimize (section/elevation/worksheet etc)windows or have them in the background or are they now all forced and locked on to the Tab Bar by default and with no alternative.
Do you understand what I mean?
The way browsers work is that you can pull tabs outside the Tab Bar, but when you do that you're essentially pulling the tab outside the Browser window frame and effectively creating a new window (that can then be pulled to a separate monitor, if need be. Clearly that's not possible on ArchiCAD (at least with PC versions) due to the aforementioned multi-display limitation.
Likewise, on a browser, I can't pull out a tab from the tab bar and still have it floating within the (single) Browser window frame, like you can have separate windows in the ArchiCAD window frame with the various views you're working with. So does it mean that by adopting the Tab Bar logic of web browser interfaces, we will also lose this old characteristic of ArchiCAD (which was really a function of AC limitation more than anything) and now have one more constraint to have to adapt to?

The TAB bar is basically a horizontal bar that can be turned on or off and that provides fast access and various options to the open Viewpoints. Besides that the behavior of Viewpoints' Windows within the ARCHICAD application Window has not changed on Windows.

No, on Windows the various Viewpoint Windows must still be located within the ARCHICAD application Window and you cannot drag them out of its perimeters like you can do on the Mac.
I've already said more than once that I do get that.

I was not clear if the Tab Bar altered the behavior of any of the previous viewpoints window behavior inside the ArchiCAD application window - either by eliminating them and forcing everything onto the Tab Bar or by keeping the previous behavior still available.
This answers the question.

Also all open windows (even if minimised) will always show in the tab bar. And you have the option to hide the tab bar if you want.

This is the answer and clarification I was looking for.
Sorry if I wasn't clear in asking it before.
