Frustrating to watch as the audience asks the same question over and over and the speaker doesn't provide a satisfying answer. Of course you can run analysis at compile-time, but if your executables are compromised (eg. virus, memory corruption, dodgy 3rd party software/drivers etc.) you can still guarantee your system won't be skittled. And also you get the speed benefit of not needing a hypervisor, and the security benefit of having a small attack surface area of trusted code. If the audience wasn't so self-righteous and listened, we might have got to see the automated debugging section.
