How to tell PowerShell to wait for each command to end before starting the next?

I have a PowerShell 1.0 script to just open a bunch of applications. The first is a virtual machine and the others are development applications. I want the virtual machine to finish booting before the rest of the applications are opened.

In bash I could just say "cmd1 && cmd2"

This is what I’ve got…

C:\Applications\VirtualBox\vboxmanage startvm superdooper
    &"C:\Applications\NetBeans 6.5\bin\netbeans.exe"
