I think he is referring to WP7 phones which were killed stone dead by announcing that WP8 _required_ dual core and no WP7 had that so they were 'Osborned' months before WP8 phones came available.

Of course prior to that WP6.5 had been killed by the WP7 announcement. There was no compatibility at all.

I think he is referring to WP8 and W10M in this article:

And may never do so.
