Microsoft has been hinting that it was going to send Live Mesh to the graveyard for a while now. (Microsoft acknowledges this when users click on a link in the original post that says it leads to more information on what's new in Movie Maker and Photo Gallery.) Microsoft is replacing Live Mesh with SkyDrive, its cloud storage service, on the PCs of those who install Windows Essentials 2012. There is one change though that some users are discovering by unhappy surprise. (If you've downloaded it and found anything worth noting in other components of the new bundle, please chime in below in the comments.)
Mail, Messenger and Writer are all still in there but don't seem to have been updated much, if at all, based on comments from those comparing the new Windows Essentials 2012 bits to the Windows Live Essentials 2011 ones. The 2012 version of the Windows Essentials bundle includes updated versions of Movie Maker and Photo Gallery. Microsoft released the 2011 version of its Windows Live Essentials bundle in mid-2011. Microsoft has used the "Windows Live Essentials" name to refer to the bundle of services that has included Windows Live Mail, Messenger, Movie Maker, Photo Gallery, Family Safety (parental controls), Writer (its blogging tool) and Mesh (its PC sync service).
