So I need a new Phone that's good enough as a filler as I save up for a super beast that I will run for many years. So I have pretty much decided I am going to pick between the Nokia Lumia 635 or the Moto G 2nd Gen. I think I will go with the Moto G just because it has a better 5" 720P HD screen vs the 4.2" 800x600 on the Nokia not to mention that the Moto G has a really decent quad core processor vs the alright dual core in the Nokia 635. That being said I really do like Windows Phone OS vs Android OS so I am wondering if I can some how DL Windows Phone OS distro and install it on the Moto G ?

I really doubt you could. Windows mobile is an in-house (not open source) OS for specific phones with specific hardware. Unlike Android where its open-source and people can port it to other devices. What is your specific need for a Windows Phone? Android can do pretty much anything any other OS can.

I like Windows OS best. Performance, Stability and especially ease of use and esthetics are superior on Windows OS IMO.

I'm not a fan of Windows Phone 8, less app support, clunkier, less modular, no custom ROMs

I would go for the Moto G 2nd Gen, getting the Moto G 4G from Tesco mobile soon

See I don't see the point of all these apps that you never need. The only compelling reason not to go WP is if you like gaming on a cell phone but for me I think it's stupid and I have a PC for gaming on. Plus WP is tightly integrated with Windows 7/8 and with the shit iphone I am using now I cant even put picts taken with it on my PC or transfer music without that POS software which I refuse to install called itunes.
