There are a variety of "wait" or "sleep" utilities out there, including
the old "CHOICE.COM" from Windows98 and earlier DOS versions.
The free command replacement TCC/LE includes a "delay" command.
Ping is available in Vista, and the ping trick still works. Try:
ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000
Otherwise, there's no built-in Windows command specifically for this.
