io.popen hasn't been disabled intentionally by LÖVE, however on OSX it doesn't seem to work in LÖVE with the version of Lua it uses (it works with my LuaJIT build though, it's weird).

In theory, io.popen (just like the rest of the Lua standard library) should work fine. People might not like you for using it, though.

io.popen is actually an exception in the lua stdlib, as it is not in ANSI C, so only available on "some systems" (it depends on compile-time options).
