I know a lot of people have already done this, but the only one's I have found were for Mac's. I have a PC, so I just need to know.

What are you tryin to ask?

Yeah... I didn't make it very clear. I was asking for a programming language after scratch.

Try Flash (yea I know it's expensive, but if you're not in USA, you can get it from isohunt).

I am in the USA.

Take a look at Alice, also from MIT, (www.alice.org) somewhat similar approach as Scratch, 3-D graphics with complex animated objects.

Objective-C is not hard at all.

Kodu is like scratch but 3d and much simpler. I'd give python and java a try. Also maybe XNA, it's a language buit by microsoftt that let's you make all kinds of games for Xbox and windows. I find it funny that I posted this and I use linux XD

Try Game Maker. I use it, and I LOVE it. It has Drag & Drop options for beginners, but also a built-in programming language for advanced users (which is what I use). Take the time to learn the language and you will never go back to Scratch. It's awesome. (The reason I'm using Scratch at the moment and not GM is because I recently switched to a Mac, and GM is not yet available for Mac, although a Mac version is in development.)

You can get it from YoYoGames.com. There's a free version available that already has a lot of functions, but once you get into it I suggest buying the Pro version...it's only $20, and it's well worth it.

I tried that actually. Didn't turn out too well. I did make a game from it though...

Yeah, there's a bit of a learning curve, but it's well worth it, IMO.

At Fruit: Yeah I started learning it about a month and a half ago and I am already making an Iphone and iPod touch app. It isn't that hard it just takes some time to understand. How are you  learning Objective-C?? a book??? a website???? the developer website???? what???? I suggest a book. That helped me a ton. And if you need any help with anything I will help you.

I'm actually saving up for a book on iPhone coding.

Try starlogo. Similar to alice, but more scratch-like.
Also, jumping from scratch to programming is not a good idea; they are too different. I recommend scripting first. Javascript and VBscript are good ones. Or, to start really easy, try windows batch.
Also, in terms of programming, I recommend Squeak.
It is much friendlier and easier than compiler languages like C or Java.
To get a head start at this, Download Jens' Elements. It basically parses the squeak syntax, into scratch-like Blocks!!!

Where?

Elements
Starlogo
Javascript
VBscript
Windows Batch
squeak
These are where you download/learn about the mentioned languages/programs/etc.

Any onthers?
