Who said to apply EMET to "a lot of stuff"? It is meant to plug holes in apps that handle untrusted data. For a vast majority of people that would be a browser, a mail client and various document viewers. IE, Firefox, Chrome, Flash player, Outlook, Thunderbird and Acrobat Reader all run A-Ok under EMET and most of them are on its default list. Remeber the RTF zeroday from a couple weeks ago? It too was mitigated with EMET. That's two zerodays in two weeks. The Bromium labs bypass was addressed in EMET 5.0, not few weeks after their announcement. The bottom line is that it the most effective zeroday protection available at the moment. Is it perfect? No. Does it work? Yes.
