Looking at the video and time it took to launch the calc.exe, it could be pdf/flash exploit that they are using.

Process count in process explorer started with 5 and at the end of the demo, it looked like they have 8. That tells there are 2 extra processes that are created (discounting 1 for calc.exe).

I tried to see if pdf/flash creates new processes but I couldn't verify. Perhaps a chrome developer could get a clue about what is happening looking at the video.

They are obviously hiding something. When they flip back to Process Explorer, Chrome is perfectly sized to cover everything in the window except the calc.exe. My guess is there are other processes running that they're trying to hide that were used in the exploit.

It would have been trivial for them to patch Process Explorer to hide whatever they wanted anyway.

Nah, the vupen marketing guys are too lazy to patch it.
