Price of a Bluebird
Several 'birds I know of have floating flooring without problems. I installed a bamboo floor -- it was individual boards which I glued to an underlayment that's glued to the sub-floor. (The underlayment has sound-deadening properties and creates a uniform base for the flooring.)

In retrospect, I'd rather I'd used one of the floating systems. The glue was -very- messy and difficult to deal with. (It tended to get on everything (hands, knees, shoes, etc.), then accidental transfer to the top surface of the boards, requiring prompt wiping with a solvent to avoid having glue showing. Aside from the headaches of installation (by this amateur), the finished job looks great.

Keep in mind, it works best if you remove as much of the furniture as possible to do the job. For installation ease, I left the original carpet around the sides of the stair well along with the original rubber steps.
