Really.. the code you posted looks different to the one I wrote.  For starters I didn't use popen.

Im not sure what options popen gives you but there are several things you can do when you do it manually, like:

 - setting the enviroment variables the process sees

 - have access to stderr handles (popen gives a FILE* which lets you read and/or write stdin and stdout but not stderr?)

 - have more control over the handles you create.  Important if you do/do not want the child process to inherit your handles.

There may be other things, not sure.  Basically if popen does everything you want I can't see why you wouldn't use it.
