Developers will get a chance to preview Microsoft's planned PC security technology at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in October, said Mike Nash, corporate vice president to the security unit for Microsoft.

Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates earlier Tuesday unveiled the The Next Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB) technology at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHec) here.

Nash, during the first public demonstration of the NGSCB technology in a briefing at the conference, said the pre-beta preview for developers will consist primarily of a software emulation.
