Anything that handles user login, really :)

I noticed that I got a warning on an XP computer at a hotel. Their certificates aren't in some older computers.

No. If you check the address bar, you'll see HTTP.
For most web sites, using HTTPS all the time is a waste of resources. HTTPS uses SSL, which uses encryption, which is a lot of math, which is expensive for the CPU and memory.
Now that hardware is a lot cheaper, using HTTPS all the time is more economical and viable for a lot of sites.
