When running in the SWT Browser widget, the user agent string is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

When running in the system browser, the user agent string is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; InfoPath.2; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; rv:11.0) like Gecko

What does that mean and what differences may I expect?

It seems that not all "features" of the system browser are supported in the embedded scenario (Browser widget).
I noticed, for example, that window.JSON is missing in the Browser widget.

As the user agent string reveals, I am on Windows 8.1 with IE11 installed.
