Github's Windows application versus Git-1.7.11 (aka MSYSGit)

I was using MSYSGit. Recently installed Github's Windows application. It crashed 1-2 times while "extracting the GIT. Please wait" screen. Then worked. I got some questions

Is there any chance that these 2 git's conflicting with each other? Maybe Github's application crashing because of MSYSGit?
I'm working with MSYSGit in daily life with DropBox. I wonder if both of them do same things? (I mean has same functionality.) If yes, can I delete MSYSGit and leave only Git's one? BTW, It has shell too. (Actually I didn't tested if it can do git procedures or not)

hi, it's better if you ask one question per post – CharlesB – 2012-09-04T22:09:49.367

@CharlesB, Hi, Thx mate, for your advise. But I think, they are easy questions for git users. I'm new to git. – user978733 – 2012-09-04T22:12:51.893

@epic_syntax Sorry, but whether or not they are simple questions is irrelevant. Please break up your question or choose one. The purpose of this site is to create a collection of great question/answer pairs for people *to revisit*. Not just for your one-time use – sehe – 2012-09-04T22:16:25.657

As per @CharlesB's question, we prefer that you ask one question at a time. Also your third question isn't really suitable here, you'd be as well asking the maintainers. – Kev – 2012-09-04T22:19:52.563

but github's version has only shell. No gui map like MSYSGit provides. – user978733 – 2012-09-04T22:20:58.150

What is a GUI map? – PeeHaa – 2012-09-04T22:25:11.277

@PeeHaa I mean hierarchial commit history map http://screencast.com/t/tIy5XrMPgvg0
