... the Dos takes place any month it the day is after the 15th, or any day if the month is after August. So starting from August 15th it wil DoS windowsupdate.com to the end of the year, but the attack is possible in earlier months as well. And it will not stop at the end of the year, just gets paused for 15 days.
