The decision to go with Microsoft does not obligate the Chilean government to go with Microsoft, but facilitates and encourages its usage. The Chilean government structure is the host for Microsoft and its various products. Bloggers in Chile have decried the decision as being made by 40 year olds who did not grow up with technology and thus do not understand the real implications of this Microsoft decision.

There’s still a lack of English translations for a lot of this (another way of saying this is being ignored in the Anglophile tech press), but for polyglot readers, here are some updates:
