  • A patent recently granted to Micorsoft ditches volume buttons on a dual-screen device.
  • In their place, the device would use virtual on-screen controls.
  • The patent may well portend what we can expect with Microsoft's rumored Centaurus device, but it's worth taking with a giant grain of salt.

Dual-screen PCs feel like they're just around the corner, and adding fuel to that speculation is a raft of patents Microsoft has been granted in recent years.
