    You can test navigator.userAgent for the strings Safari/ and Windows (list of Safari user agent strings), e.g.: Live Example

    var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (ua.indexOf("safari/") !== -1 &&  // It says it's Safari
    ua.indexOf("windows") !== -1 &&  // It says it's on Windows
    ua.indexOf("chrom")   === -1     // It DOESN'T say it's Chrome/Chromium
    ) {
    // Looks like Safari on Windows (but browser detection is unreliable and best avoided)
}

    …but browser detection is usually not the best solution to a problem. Much better, where you can, to use feature detection. You can feature-detect nearly everything. Kangax has a great list of feature detects, and of course libs like Moderizr do them as well. But I don’t know your use-case…
