It was five years, from 2006 to 2011. Rosetta 2 will have been there for seven years (currently at five).

To clarify, the complete sentence in my mind was "...after a year or two I got my Intel Mac". I got mine in Q3 2008, just before Unibody ones introduced.

So, I effectively got 2 years out of Rosetta 1, but didn't meant to say Apple supported it for two years only.

Sorry for the confusion.

Looks like I can't edit my comment anymore to clarify.
