(I know this post is about linux.) My windows laptop batteries usually die after 2 years. I think Windows laptops have the problem of overcharging. To avoid it, I have to unplug the battery when I need to use a laptop as a desktop. We have to admit Apple does good job in battery management. My 2010 MacBook Pro 13-inch's battery is still in good condition (relatively).

To answer with my own anecdote, my three year old thinkpad has had barely any drop in capacity, whereas a friends macbook pro of a similar age has only about 60% of its original capacity. It's hard to compare these things because it depends so heavily on usage patterns.
