I've installed 10.10 on my Late 2008 MB. IMO, it's pretty much identical to Mavericks, just with a fresh coat of paint. No performance issues. I don't hate the new flat look but I'm not crazy about it either.
Most of the new features are heavily geared towards iOS users. Even then, they require iOS 8, which my phone can't realistically handle.
Macs always have an "official" RAM maximum, and an actual one. In that particular laptop (late 2012 non-retina MPB) it's officially 8GB, but you can stuff 16GB in there no problem. OS X will recognize and utilize it.
I have no idea what the purpose behind that is. At first it seems like planned obsolescence, but why not just cap the amount in the EFI to the official number?

What's the max ram you can go to in the vanilla Mac? Many sites say 8gb but with the older gen processor do you need more?
