i was reading this article:

and now i have 2 questions:
* is sysutils.executeProcess full cross-platform?

Yes.

* why not not suggest sysutils.executeProcess to replace WinExec/ShellExecute 
as it needs less lines to use like WinExec/ShellExecute?

Because ShellExecute accepts documents and files and will open the correct 
program to process these files.
ExecuteProcess only starts a program.

It can probably replace WinExec.
