Life Expectancy of Aftermarket Shocks?

What's the life expectancy of aftermarket (e.g. Koni) shocks? OEM shocks usually last around five years I'm guessing?

KONI Inc. warrants all new KONI shock absorbers to the original retail purchaser (purchased after 5/1/80) against defects in material and workmanship, excluding mounting rubbers, washers and bushings, when used under normal operating conditions for as long as such purchaser owns the vehicle on which the KONI shock absorbers were originally installed.
