A surprising 5 percent of women confess they've had a fling with their male boss - and even more fantasize about it, a new poll reveals.

The Lifetime Cable Network Web survey, done to mark the release of "The Devil Wears Prada," found 12 percent of women have thought about having an affair with a supervisor.

And three times as many women said they would prefer a male boss to a woman - perhaps inspired by Meryl Streep's nasty interpretation of Vogue's Anna Wintour in the film.

Microsoft's Bill Gates was tapped as the most-desired boss.

Also, one in five admitted work had ruined their love life - because they would answer phone calls from their boss while on a date.
