PowerShell v2 won't react so nicely; in v3, the variable inside double quotes is $procs, and since that variable contains multiple objects, PowerShell implicitly enumerates them and looks for a Name property. You'll notice ".name" from the original string appended to the end - PowerShell didn't do anything with that.

You'd probably want to enumerate these:
