Of course I'm using patch 1.00 maybe that has something to do with it...1.08 included a new start option which you might be interested in: Top V. Bottom, in which you can split the players into two teams ranging from 1v7 to 7v1 and everything between. The players are perma-allied, meaning you cannot backstab your teammates, and Shared Vision is enabled by default. Otherwise, it just means less clicking at the start of a game.
The benefit? This is the only way (Unless you're playing a freaky UMS map) that you can be allied with computer players. The problem is that computer players tend to go for early rushes, so the game may be all over if you're slow off the mark, and you cannot order your comp partners around, but it's better than nothing if you want to get your build orders right in a situation where the pressure of being wiped out is very real but also coinciding with the reality that you might actually win.
Oh, and 1.10 does have some issues - Namely Zerg AI on island maps. They don't expand like they did prior to 1.10, and soon run out of resources and stagnate, but there's nothing wrong with 'Toss and 'Rren on such maps, and on other maps the Zerg can still pull the occassional (un)pleasent surprise.
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
