On the bright side, it should run Macromedia FreeHand/MX.

It's rather incorrect to blame Win8 for that problem. It's Googles fault for omitting the option for opening a local file and not the fault of Win. That the SVG didn't open in Chrome by default is the fault ofnthe laptop's administrator who failed to set the default programs to fit your personal desires.
The "antique" Macromedia FreeHand MX should run fine if, and only if, you can successfully serialize it. The last version of FH used a server based registration system. Those servers no longer exist preventing the last iteration of Macromedia's various apps, along with Adobe's CS2 suite, from successfully serializing.
P.S. It is nice to see someone remember how to spell "FreeHand"
