Users who want to continue using Live Mesh are instructed by Microsoft to not install Windows Essentials 2012. What’s surprising is that updating Windows Live Essentials 2011 with Windows Essentials 2012 automatically uninstalls Live Mesh from the computer. Both has its uses and benefits, but Live Mesh is technically the superior service between the two.

As of now, Microsoft runs two independent file synchronization service – Live Mesh and SkyDrive. But there were no plans to discontinue the Live Mesh service. Microsoft had already announced that Live Mesh will be superseded by SkyDrive which Microsoft will be pushing to all customers of Windows 8 via the deeply integrated cloud service.

But the major disappointment comes from the fact that after installing Windows Essentials 2012 you can no longer use Live Mesh. Microsoft has understandably decided to drop a few applications from the 2012 edition such as Bing Bar and Messenger Companion. Other applications included in the Essentials Pack are Mail, Family Safety, and Windows Live Writer. Microsoft has just released Windows Essentials 2012 (formerly Windows Live Essentials) that includes updated versions of Windows Movie Maker and Photo Gallery, along with the new SkyDrive app for Windows 7 and Windows 8.
