Firstly, although I know this doesn't help you now, but you must always save. Save after each sentence, save all the time, it doesn't hurt, and it'll save you tons of pain, as you are aware. Just hit ctrl+S all the time, easy.
Having said that, if you search for files with names like ~tmp or *tmp, or even just "tmp" in the title, this is where word often stores it's temporary files. Now, depending on how fast you wrote this stuff, and whether you have ever played around with the autosave feature, you may get a lot, possibly all (but not likely) back. Try that.
As for windblows, I'm making the swith to Linux right now. I have two computers, one with XP Pro, one with Ubuntu Linux, and I'm finding I'm using my Linux machine for more and more all the time. Just a thought if you're serious about getting rid of beta software on your computer, like XP for instance.
Good luck, and I DO feel your pain.
Peace,
Pierre
